# Platform-Specific Rankings

Beyond the [Global Leaderboard](/leaderboards/global-leaderboards.md), RivalRyze also tracks your rank on each gaming platform individually. This is useful for proving you're the best at a specific platform without competing against players who span many.

Find these under **Leaderboards → By Platform**.

## Platforms tracked

Each connected platform has its own dedicated leaderboard:

* **Steam Ranking** — based on Steam achievements unlocked.
* **PSN Ranking** — based on trophies earned (with extra weight for platinums).
* **Xbox Ranking** — based on gamerscore.
* **Riot Ranking** — based on competitive rank and seasonal performance.
* **Battle.net Ranking** — based on Blizzard game progress.

Players who don't have a platform connected don't appear on that platform's leaderboard at all — only players actively competing on it.

## How each platform is scored

| Platform   | Primary scoring basis                                                                      |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Steam      | Achievement points (weighted by rarity) + completion percentage                            |
| PSN        | Trophy points (bronze < silver < gold < platinum) — platinums are a significant multiplier |
| Xbox       | Gamerscore directly                                                                        |
| Riot       | Rank tier + seasonal LP / RR progression                                                   |
| Battle.net | Game-specific scoring (Overwatch rank, Diablo seasonal progression, etc.)                  |

These per-platform scores are also what feeds into your global total — but on the platform leaderboards, you can see exactly where you stand on just that one.

## Why play for a platform ranking

* **Bragging rights specific to a platform.** Being the #1 PSN player is a different story than being #1 globally.
* **Goal-setting.** It's easier to focus on climbing one platform's rank than the combined global one.
* **Contest eligibility.** Some Contests only target one platform — your platform-specific rank is what hosts and joiners look at when evaluating.

## Filtering each platform leaderboard

Each platform leaderboard supports:

* **All time / Season / Month / Week** time windows.
* **Country / region** filtering.
* **Guild members only** — filter to just members of guilds you're in.

## Combining platform leaderboards

Some players are great at one platform; others are great at many. The **Cross-Platform Champion** leaderboard (also under Leaderboards → By Platform) ranks players by their **average rank across all platforms they're connected to**.

A player who is #100 on Steam, #80 on PSN, and #50 on Xbox might rank ahead of a player who's #5 on Steam but doesn't play anywhere else. This rewards versatility.

## What if I only play one platform?

You'll be ranked normally on that platform's leaderboard. You just won't appear on the other platforms' leaderboards or on the Cross-Platform Champion leaderboard.

You can still be a high global ranker — you'll just be competing against multi-platform players who have more total points to draw from. See [Global Leaderboards](/leaderboards/global-leaderboards.md) for how that works.

## Sync delays

Platform-specific rankings update on the same sync schedule as your stats — every 4 hours on Free, every hour on Supporter, every 30 minutes on Pro. See [Subscription Tiers](/your-account/subscription-tiers.md).

Trigger an on-demand sync from your profile to refresh immediately.

## Rank decay

For competitive platforms like Riot and Battle.net, **rank can decay** if you don't play for an extended period — but this happens in-game on those platforms, not on RivalRyze. We just reflect what the platform tells us.

For achievement-based platforms (Steam, PSN, Xbox), there's no decay. Achievements you earned years ago still count.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rivalryze.com/leaderboards/platform-specific-rankings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
