32 legendary games face off head-to-head across 5 rounds. Pick your favorites — and crown your ultimate game.
Drawn from 66 classics · Randomised each session
Everyone has a favourite video game — but most people have never had to defend it in a direct comparison. Gaming Tournament forces you to choose between two specific games, right now, with no hedging. That constraint produces more honest answers than any top-ten list ever could.
Each session draws 32 games at random from a pool of 66 classics, pairs them up and asks you to pick the one you'd rather play. The winner advances. Five rounds later, one game stands alone as your undisputed champion.
The 66-game pool spans every major genre and era of modern gaming. Open-world giants like GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3 share the bracket with precision shooters like Counter-Strike 2 and DOOM Eternal. FromSoftware titles — Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Sekiro — sit alongside cosy favourites like Stardew Valley and Terraria.
RPG landmarks including Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 compete with indie legends like Hades, Hollow Knight and Celeste. Strategy classics such as Civilization VI and Total War: Warhammer II round out a pool designed to surface genuine preferences, not just recency bias.
After all 31 matchups, every game is ranked by the number of rounds it won. Your champion won all five. Your runner-up won four. Games that fell earlier accumulate fewer wins but still earn their place in the final leaderboard. The result is a ranked snapshot of your actual preferences — determined game-by-game, choice-by-choice.
Because the 32 games are drawn randomly each time, replaying the tournament produces a completely different bracket. A rematch between Elden Ring and Stardew Valley that went one way today might never appear again. Over multiple sessions you can track which titles consistently rise to the top — and which ones you always drop when faced with something harder to beat.
32 games are drawn randomly from a pool of 66 classics and paired up. You pick the game you prefer in each head-to-head matchup. Winners advance through 5 rounds — Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Grand Final — until one game is crowned your champion.
The pool includes 66 legendary games across all genres: GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring, The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Skyrim, Half-Life 2, Portal 2, Hades, Stardew Valley, Baldur's Gate 3, Hollow Knight, Celeste, Dark Souls, Sekiro, Counter-Strike 2, Minecraft, Terraria, Mass Effect 2, Civilization VI and many more.
Your Top 5 is ranked by total wins across all rounds. Your champion won 5 rounds, the finalist won 4, semifinalists won 3 and so on. Games with equal wins are ordered by when they were eliminated.
