The 10 Biggest Kotaku Stories Of 2023

What were you loyal Kotaku readers most interested in this year? Despite 2023 offering us scammers in Congress, a megolomaniac destroying one of the most popular social media websites of all time, and a pop star dating an NFL football hero, gamers remained laser-focused on the things that matter most to them as a subculture: retro games, asset theft, Funko pops, and vaginas.

The variety of stories gathered here is a testament to the well-roundedness of your average Kotaku reader. For reference, last year’s list can be found right here, and yes, it contained hentai.

This year, however, you were interested in interviews with boundary-breaking women in the industry, commentary about HBO’s The Last of Us series, and even an Across the Spider-Verse secret. So without further ado, here are the top 10 Kotaku stories of 2023, starting with the most popular one. Did your favorite post make the cut?
