The lists season · December – Jan 9

Top 10 of 2026

Rank your ten best games of 2026. You rank blind: the experts' lists are collected as they publish, but the aggregated Consensus Top 10 stays hidden until the reveal on Saturday, January 9. Submissions stay editable until they lock on Thursday, December 31.

Your Top 10

Blind ballot

Rank your ten best games of the year, blind.

Your list stays yours until the reveal. Then it is scored against The Consensus Top 10 and every expert list we collect.

Tap to add

The tap-to-add pool opens when the nominees are announced, expected Monday, November 16 — every nominated game, with its cover, ready to tap onto your list. Until then, add titles by typing above.

The Consensus Top 10 of 2026

Every ranked list we collect becomes points — a #1 is worth 10, down to 1 for a #10 — and the totals make one Top 10. Yours is scored against it at the reveal. Full scoring rules
