Uoči ovogodišnje The Game Awards ceremonije na kojoj će 8. 12. Geoff Keighley i odabrani novinari odabrati najbolje ove godine objavljeni su nominirani u svim natjecateljskim kategorijama.
U godini koju su kritički obilježili God of War Ragnarok i Elden Ring ovaj prvi je u blagom vodstvu s čak 10 nominacija. Elden Ringu se sa sedam nominacija pridružila još jedna PlayStation ekskluziva – Horizon Forbidden West, pritom su svo troje nominirani u najbitnijoj kategoriji, onoj za igru godine, a u izboru su još A Plague Tale: Requiem te Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
Prije nego li u nastavku navedemo sve nominirane, spomenimo i to da je Sony premoćno s 20 nominacija ispred konkurencije. Slijede ga Annapurna Interactive i Nintendo s 11 nominacija, Bandai Namco s 8 te Square Enix s 6 nominacija. Xbox ih ima dvije, koliko i Bungie koji je od početka ove godine u Sonyjevom vlasništvu, ali nastavlja djelovati neovisno.
