For the 7th month in a row, we have a new number one! Zelda just barely edges out Astro Bot for the win. Marvel vs Capcom glides into a tie for 5th place. Highest debut was announced close to the end of the month (The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky remake). A lot of the top 10 are being released this month

When you separate it by games exclusively that have release dates, 6 of the top 10 release in September, 2 October, and 2 November. Fortunately, there are rumors of a Playstation State of Play and a Nintendo Direct for September that could help pad out the next few months of releases into next year.

I've decided to add this into the threads for now just to show how diverse our Most Wanted category has been this year. While some of these benefited from the community vote, none of them relied solely on the community vote to secure its spot except for Dragon's Dogma 2 (It technically lost on the single platform chart to Stellar Blade).
| Most Wanted Monthly | Game of the Month |
| January | Final Fantasy VII Rebirth |
| February | Final Fantasy VII Rebirth |
| March | Dragon's Dogma 2 |
| April | Hollow Knight Silksong |
| May | Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door |
| June | Elden Ring: Shadow of Erdtree |
| July | Astro Bot |
| August | Metroid Prime 4: Beyond |
| September | The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom |
