Charts · The gaming year in progress
What the gaming world watched, day by day.
The games drawing the most coverage across the outlets we track — each day's bar is its last 30 days of press. Scrub the timeline or hit play to watch the race unfold.
Each bar is a game's coverage over the trailing 30 days, tallied across the gaming outlets we track — so a big reveal climbs over a few weeks and gradually cools, rather than one blockbuster camping at the top. The chart advances a day at a time; it's a real record of the year as it happens, not a fixed list.
