The Game Awards 2025: Game of the Year Nominees Revealed

by

The Game Awards dropped the six titles competing for Game of the Year at the 2025 show.

As a huge fan of gaming, I’m excited to share that The Game Awards are happening live on December 11th! And the best part? You can head over to their website right now to cast your votes for all your favorite games and creators.

The Six Game of the Year Nominees

This year’s selection includes continuations of popular series, films fans have been waiting for, and a few unexpected hits. Here are the nominees:

  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive / Kepler Interactive)
  • Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (Kojima Productions / Sony Interactive Entertainment)
  • Donkey Kong Bananza (Nintendo EPD / Nintendo)
  • Hades II (Supergiant Games)
  • Hollow Knight: Silksong (Team Cherry)
  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (Warhorse Studios / Deep Silver)

What Stands Out This Year

Hollow Knight: Silksong finally arriving in a GOTY lineup is going to be a big talking point.

Supergiant landing another nomination with Hades II shows how strong their follow-up landed.

Kojima’s Death Stranding 2 also brings star power, while Donkey Kong Bananza keeps Nintendo in the mix.

Clair Obscur and Kingdom Come II round out the field with strong critical attention.

When and Where to Watch

The Game Awards 2025 will be streamed live on December 11th on all popular platforms. You can vote for your favorites now at thegameawards.com.
