The act of a player to abandon a game instance in acknowledgment of being beat.
Many games recognize one player as a winner of a game instance in some way. Those that do naturally give players the goal of being the winner, but can also make players that perceive that they have no chance of winning decide that the best thing they can do is Surrendering and start doing something else.

While Surrendering may be seen as a Negative Pattern, it is that only way to end participation in Unwinnable Games.
The possibility of perceiving a Predictable Winner which is not oneself can trigger a wish for Surrendering.
If Surrendering is a wanted behavior of players, implementing a Possibility of Graceful Surrender for them can make gameplay possible for other players after the surrender.

Surrendering causes Early Elimination and Early Leaving Players through self-inflicted Player Elimination. It can be seen as a modulation of Last Man Standing since it provides an alternative way for players to be eliminated, but since this exists for free in all games and Surrendering is rarely a positive experience there is seldom design rationales to encourage Surrendering in relation to Last Man Standing.
In conjunction with Late Arriving Players it formally supports Drop-In/Drop-Out but only as long as the design of Surrendering actions does not ruin other players' gameplay.
