How is the monthly ranking calculated?

This isn't a ranking based on reviews or our personal favourites. The order is based on the number of visits to each game page during the current month, so the list reflects what Free Games Utopia visitors are actually checking out right now.

The ranking is reset each month, which means the list can look quite different from one month to the next. A game that gets a sudden burst of attention can climb quickly, while something that was popular last month may not make the list this time around. You'll find a rather mixed bunch here, from old freeware and classic games to newer free-to-play titles and browser games.
