Today Facebook revealed a list of all the top games for 2015. Among the announcements, Facebook released its Game of the Year and other category winners. Over the years, the company has changed how it approached this. Here’s more on how Facebook decided its winners this year.
“What we’ve learned in that time is that there is no one golden approach to choosing the ‘best’ games,” Facebook said in a statement. “Some games have strong retention, but don’t grow quickly. Some games grow exponentially in a matter of months–but are forgotten within a year. Older games have stronger engagement than younger games; newer games launch across mobile and Facebook.com simultaneously, creating shifts in player engagement.” With that said, Facebook’s complete list of game of the year winners is below.
