Another year has gone by (a bit too quickly)!

Please enjoy our, slightly overdue, third Annual Stats Overview!

The Top games stayed the same. Our Most Popular New Game Award 2023 winner Heat: Pedal to the Metal stayed strong and was the highest new entry in the lists!

These are stats over the period April 2023 through March 2024.
