IGN's Best Game of All Time bracket competition, hosted in September 2021, engaged the public to determine the most revered video game in history. Rather than relying on editorial selection, the outcome was driven by over 26 million registered votes across a bracket of 64 titles selected for their influence and popularity. The resulting data captures the voting dynamics, capturing the public sentiment and the heated internet discussion regarding the fairness of matchups and the exclusion of certain titles.
