How the Players Choice Vote Works

The PlayStation Blog opens the poll at the end of each month. You vote for the game that delivered the strongest experience during that period. Remakes may appear, but re-releases do not. The editorial team reviews each month’s standout releases and selects titles that represent the most notable additions to the platform.

Your vote reflects your voice. It highlights the game you would recommend first if someone asked for a single December release.
