How this ranking is made
The answer

According to Made the Cut's census of 43 independent rankings, recounted 19 October 2026, the best RPG of the 2020s is Elden Ring, followed by Cyberpunk 2077 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

How this is counted

This chart counts 43 ranking sources, one voice each: the published ranking of games from that source with the most titles whose genre is RPG and released in the 2020s, cut down to those titles, in the order that source listed them. A title's place is its average position across all sources counted: a title someone left off their ranking counts as tied with their last place (here, that source ranked titles of this kind and left this one out). A small pull toward the middle keeps one enthusiastic list from crowning a #1. Every title in the computed chart has a numbered position, with its source count shown beside it. It is recounted whenever a ranking is published, changed or removed, last on 19 October 2026. Member rankings and attributed external lists use the same calculation. Multiple lists from one member or external author count once; linked slices add no extra vote. Frozen links, private or unlisted lists and unmatched titles are never counted. The full method.
