How Trending Works on Playlogs (For Now)
By Playlogs
Before community activity ramps up, Popular games use IGDB rating volume; later we switch to Playlogs activity.
Popular vs trending
Homepage Popular lists rank by IGDB rating activity when there aren’t enough Playlogs logs yet.
Once players log and rate games, Trending on Playlogs uses recent community activity instead.
You’ll see which source was used via the API source field (igdb or playlogs).
