2 min.The RuStore Awards are back: we're choosing the best apps and games of 2026
Last year we held the first RuStore Awards and recognized apps and games that delivered strong results over the year — in product quality, metrics, and user engagement.
In autumn 2026, the Awards will take place again — and we have already begun preparations for the new season.
What is evaluated
The selection approach remains the same: RuStore experts look not at individual metrics but at the overall performance of an app or game.
Basic criteria:
- App Quality
Stability, thoughtful UX, visual integrity - User Popularity
Installs, rating, reviews, and engagement dynamics - Technology
Use of new approaches, features, and RuStore tools
How winners are determined
The RuStore team compiles a list of best projects based on internal platform data and product analysis — you cannot submit an application or nominate an app or game.
The final decision is made based on a comprehensive assessment: how the product evolves, retains users, handles monetization and user experience.
What’s next
The list of nominations, stages, and details of the RuStore 2026 Awards will be announced later. Follow updates on the official Awards website, Telegram, Max, and DevBlog.
