Questions

Every game explained FAQ

What is the Every Game Explained guide library?

It is our free set of beginner guides, one for each of the 57 games we cover. Every guide explains what the game is, who makes it, which platforms it runs on, the objective, how you win a match or session, how ranked or progression works, and practical tips for new players. Each one links to deeper guides and to that game's services.

How do I pick a new game to play?

Start with the genre you enjoy. Tactical and hero shooters reward teamwork and aim, battle royales are about surviving to the end, MMORPGs and action RPGs are long-term progression games, and mobile games suit short sessions. Read two or three beginner guides in that genre and compare match length, price model and how ranked works before you commit.

Are these guides up to date?

Each guide was researched and checked against official sites, patch notes and reputable outlets in October 2026, and each one lists its sources at the bottom. Games change every season, so we update a guide when a rank system, mode or major update changes. The date at the top of each guide shows when it was last updated.

Do I need to buy a boost to use the guides?

No. Every guide is free and needs no account. The guides are written to help you understand and enjoy each game on your own. If you later want help with a goal, each guide links to that game's services, where the exact price shows before you pay and duo or coaching options keep your login with you.

Is boosting allowed in these games?

Usually not. Almost every publisher forbids sharing your account, and most forbid paid boosting, so piloted boosts carry a real risk of penalties. Duo play carries less risk and coaching carries none because you never share your login. Each beginner guide has an honest risk note, and our account safety page covers the details game by game.
