That link sadly does not explain the Up and Coming sort.

From my experience you’re gonna need to reach a few thousand concurrent players after not having that many in your game’s history for a ā€˜while’. This happened to 2 of my games once they were put onto the Learn and Explore sort. They were on there for a few days or maybe a week. I did not note in much detail, but once they stayed the same concurrents or lowered, they were no longer growing an audience, so I suspect the algorithm caught that other games were growing more, and therefore more ā€œup and comingā€ than mine.

Other ways getting on the sort could happen would be getting onto other sorts first to get more free advertising, making a good update and pinging your players on discord, or through a large successful advertising campaign.

But why do players currently playing your games travel to the front page in the first place? Isn’t their like multiple methods for your games to be linked on there? Like I know the vip servers and top rated are but why are there no other ways to?

I’m pretty sure it’s based on detectable growth such as playtime increasing, increasing sales (possibly?), and a good ratio. atleast around 80%
