The Game Awards will be held on the night of December 7 to 8, the ceremony in which the best games of the year are rewarded based on votes from the press and players. As in previous years, we will also be entitled to a flood of more or less large-scale announcements.
As the event approaches, Geoff Keighley has announced all the nominees for this edition. With such a year full of solid titles, it’s a safe bet that the lists won’t please all players.
Starfield was almost overshadowed at The Game Awards
This year, with Bethesda and Blizzard in the ranks, games from Xbox received fewer than 10 nominations, positioning the brand as the manufacturer with the fewest nominations. We will also note the absence of Starfield in many categories, as the title was only selected for the best role-playing game of the year.
You can support this year’s games here by logging in and voting for them. The audience represents a small percentage of the voting weight for the jury. May the best win!
