Want to learn more about what is our “Top 10 Games of the Month”? When your game is qualified for the competition, all games will automatically participate in the public ranking, and the top 10 games are announced every month. It consists of two factors: *Engagement on game pages, such as game page views, likes, and shares. *Votes on the game discovery page.

The top-ranked game each month will be guaranteed a spot on the Fans’ Choice poll and the Jury’s Choice shortlist for whatever category it participates in. And do not worry about joining the competition late, because rankings reset every month, so it’s never too late to get involved!

Hi <GetComponent>Studio, Your game is live instantly after submission. This was changed during Autumn. The Championship validation & curation process is now separate from your game's visibility on our site.
