Vote for September’s best new game
The gaming world is constantly buzzing with fresh, mind-bending experiences, and last month was no exception. From sprawling story-driven spectacles to intense mini-adventures, the release calendar delivered a diverse array of titles, including big names like Marvel’s Wolverine, Control Resonant, Dune: Awakening, and NBA 2K27. As the excitement of new releases fades, the real game begins: choosing which title truly stands out.
To help the community decide which game reigned supreme, PlayStation Blog is launching a monthly poll. This initiative turns the fans into critics, letting the community decide which new release deserves the spotlight.
So, how do you get involved in this process? The criteria for voting are wonderfully simple: you simply recommend the one new release you would enthusiastically tell a friend about that month. It’s a chance to champion the game you love the most.
However, there are a few important rules to keep in mind to ensure the poll remains fair and fun. Naturally, games that have been re-released are excluded from consideration. But don’t worry, we do make room for ambitious projects. We define remakes as those larger-scale rebuilds, such as the acclaimed Resident Evil 4 (2023) and the masterful Final Fantasy VII Remake, which deserve their place in the discussion.
The nomination process is handled by the PlayStation Blog editorial team, who gather a list of the most noteworthy releases to seed the poll. This ensures that the games up for a vote are already high-caliber contenders.
This is more than just a simple vote; it’s a chance for the community to celebrate the best of the new releases and highlight the gaming experiences that resonate most deeply.
