IGN engagement report
@IGN - 10M followers on X
Measured over 512 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 2, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 180 interactions against 10M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 512 original posts, its engagement rate beats 22% of 4,067 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 69K times each, and 0.26% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.663% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 19.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 512 posts sampled, 99% carry an image or video and 78% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 21K interactions, about 119x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #gamescom2026, #ad, #d23.

Compared with accounts its own size
IGN's engagement rate beats 22% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,067 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 24% 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 0.002%, IGN sits above the 10th percentile of the 39,368 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.013%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 04:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 180 interactions against 10M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 512 original posts, its engagement rate beats 22% of 4,067 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 69K times each, and 0.26% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.663% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 19.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 512 posts sampled, 99% carry an image or video and 78% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 21K interactions, about 119x its own typical post.

- What is IGN's engagement rate on X?
- IGN (@IGN) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 512 original posts from the last 30 days against 10,395,535 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.002%, IGN sits above the 10th percentile of the 39,368 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 @IGN have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 22% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,067 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size 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 @IGN post?
- Most posts go out around 04:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 19.1 posts per day across the measured window.
