Discover
the
standout
winners
of
The
Game
Awards
2024,
where
the
most
exceptional
games,
creators,
actors,
and
developers
were
celebrated
for
their
remarkable
contributions
to
the
gaming
industry.
Undoubtedly
Geoff
Keighley
will
have
plenty
of
surprises
in
store
for
us,
but
don’t
let
that
distract
you
from
learning
which
game
will
take
home
the
Game
of
the
Year
trophy!

Below
you’ll
find
the
full
list
of
nominations
for
every
category,
with
the
winner
being
highlighted
in

BOLD.

Note:
this
list
is
being
updated
in
real-time
as
the
Game
Awards
occurs.
As
it’s
taking
place
at
12:30am
here
in
the
UK,
I
may
not
be
able
to
finish
updating
the
list
before
I
crash
unconscious
into
my
keyboard
and
sleep.
