Voting open
In the running for November 2026
Upvote as many different games as you like, one upvote per game.
Voting open, results after review. The month's counts stay hidden until staff have checked and certified it.
The stage is set
No games in the running yet. Yours could be first.
No games are in the running this month yet. Games that go live before a month starts are in that month's spotlight, so share yours now and it joins the next vote.
How it works

The fine printWho can vote, which games, results and getting featured
This month's spotlight runs from November 1, 00:00 UTC to November 30, 23:59 UTC. Voting closes in 17 days.
01 Whose upvotes count
- Any signed-in member with a verified email. Your upvote on a game in the running is your spotlight pick for it.
- Accounts need to be at least 3 days old for their upvotes to count toward the spotlight. This keeps brand new accounts from swinging it. (Their upvotes still count on the game.)
- One upvote per game. Take it back while the month is open and it leaves the spotlight count too.
- You can't upvote your own game.
02 Which games
- Community games that were live before the month started. A game that goes live during the month joins the next month's spotlight.
- Each spotlight runs for one calendar month in UTC: from the 1st at 00:00 UTC to the last day at 23:59 UTC. Only upvotes given during the month count.
03 Results
- The month's ranking stays hidden while it's open (game pages show all-time upvotes only). That makes it harder to pile on or game it.
- After the month closes, staff check for fake or duplicate upvotes. Ones that break the rules don't count. Then the month's results are certified and published.
- If two games tie, the one that joined marker first ranks higher.
04 Getting featured
- The top three are reviewed before they're featured; being in the top three doesn't guarantee a spot in the video.
- Review checks that the game still plays, that the creator made it and has the rights to everything in it (music too), that the creator agrees to be in the video, and that it suits YouTube.
- If a game can't be featured, the next game in the results takes its place.
- Nobody can pay for upvotes or a spot in the top three.
No certified results yet. When this month closes and the upvotes are checked, the results land on the winners page.
