A typical post picks up 124 interactions against 2.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 154 original posts, its engagement rate beats 38% of 3,829 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 39K times each, and 0.321% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.77% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 154 posts sampled, 99% carry an image or video and 94% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 41K interactions, about 333x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Game Informer's engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 28% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.006%, Game Informer sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,071 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,071 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,527 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 18:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

    We went hands-on with Tides of Annihilation, the upcoming action game that blends modern London with Arthurian legend. If our two hours with it are any indication, Tides of Annihilation is a stunning character action game with the spectacle of Final Fantasy XVI. Read our preview here: https://t.co/Q94gvIP4Vm

    Here's why Capcom's RE Engine (which stands for "Reach for the Moon" not Resident Evil) is so versatile and can be used for games like Resident Evil, Pragmata, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Monster Hunter, and even games like Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection. https://t.co/AgzjSMpt1K https://t.co/qoMHWaQEGQ

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 124 interactions against 2.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 154 original posts, its engagement rate beats 38% of 3,829 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

What is Game Informer's engagement rate on X?
Game Informer (@gameinformer) has an engagement rate of 0.006%, based on the median interactions across 154 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,182,555 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.006%, Game Informer sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,071 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @gameinformer have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @gameinformer post?
Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.17 posts per day across the measured window.
