Purely algorithmic. For the overall award, it's the top 10 platforms across the whole catalogue by current rating, with a minimum rating of 4/5. For category awards, it's roughly the top 15% of platforms in that category by rating (capped at 5), same minimum rating.
No. There's no submission process, no fee, and no sponsorship path to an award — it's computed directly from the same rating used on every review page.
A category needs at least 5 listed platforms before it gets an award. Smaller categories are excluded rather than crowning a winner just for beating one or two other options.
Deliberately, not automatically — this batch was computed 2026-09-21 for 2026. Ratings can still move on individual review pages between award refreshes; see the changelog for that.
