Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency

It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.

Nothing much is corroborating this yet. On a quiet day in business that is enough to reach the top of the section — recency, not significance, is doing the work here.

Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

Blended score 0.386 — every figure below is computed, none of it is editorial.
FactorWeightScore ContributionWhere it came from
Corroboration 0.35 0.39 +0.135 35% 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true.
Source trust 0.25 0.44 +0.110 28% Eurogamer is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged.
Pickup rate 0.20 0.00 +0.000 0% One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate.
Freshnessleads 0.20 0.70 +0.141 36% Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
