Krajem svake godine s nestrpljenjem iščekujemo The Game Awards, tradicionalni izbor najboljih igara, koji je i ove godine vodio kanadski novinar Geoff Keighley. Ceremonija se održala u prestižnom Peacock Theateru u Los Angelesu, uz prijenos na svim popularnim online platformama. Događaj je bio obogaćen brojnim najavama, nastupima d4vda, Royal & the Serpenta, Snoop Dogga i Twenty One Pilotsa, te posebnim gostovanjima zvijezda poput Harrisona Forda, Hidea Kojime i Aarona Paula.

O najboljim igrama odlučivao je stručni žiri sastavljen od više od 130 novinara iz svjetskih medija, dok su glasovi igrača činili 10% konačnog rezultata. Igrači su mogli podržati svoje favorite putem službenih web stranica i na Discord kanalu. U kategoriji najbolje igre godine natjecali su se sljedeći naslovi: Astro Bot, Balatro, Black Myth: Wukong, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth i Metaphor: ReFantazio, a pobjedu je odnio Astro Bot, koji je uz titulu Igre godine osvojio i nagrade u još tri dodatne kategorije.
