What does “ranked by hype” mean?

Browse

All release months All games A–Z Most anticipated Gaming news

Hype is IGDB’s anticipation signal — roughly, how many players are tracking a game before it’s out. We rank each month by it, so the most-anticipated title still to come leads as that month’s headline and bigger artwork marks the hotter games. Anything that’s already out sits in a quieter “already out” section below.
