Metacritic’s 10th Annual Game Publisher Rankings
In past years, we divided publishers into two groups (bigger and less big) based on how many titles each one published. Because the cutoff was arbitrary, and publishers shifted from one group to another from year to year, we have decided to eliminate the groups this year and rank all publishers together in one big group. Publishers with 4 or fewer distinct titles* released last year are excluded.
We have ranked these publishers in order from best overall game quality to worst, using a points-based system based on four factors:
- Average Metascore for all games released in 2019
- 150 possible points (awarded at 1.5 x the average Metascore)
- % of scored products with good reviews (Metascore of at least 75)
- 100 possible points (ex: 80% good = 80 points)
- % of scored products with bad reviews (49 or lower; in this case, a lower % is better)
- 100 possible points (ex: 20% bad = 80 points)
- Number of “great” titles (Metascore of 90 or higher, min. 7 reviews)
- Awarded as 5 bonus points for each distinct title with a 90+ score
Note that the Metascore average (the first factor) counts slightly more than the other factors. In addition, note that iOS games are not included in the figures below.
