Overview
- LevelUp's engagement index, published June 11, placed God of War Laufey far ahead of other reveals in Summer Game Fest week.
- The index combines trailer views, streaming performance, press coverage, and community sentiment to measure overall public and press engagement.
- The top three on the list were God of War Laufey, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, and Resident Evil: Veronica, and the full top ten was composed exclusively of major AAA titles.
- Sony's State of Play benefited from earlier timing and high view counts on PlayStation's YouTube channel, which Push Square reported exceeded 7.2 million views and gave those reveals more time to accrue engagement.
- Eight of the ten ranked games will launch day one on PS5, a result that boosted PlayStation visibility during the week and intensified attention on platform availability and exclusivity debates such as those around Gears of War: E‑Day.
