The Game Awards 2025 Nominees to Be Revealed in Just Three Days

The organizer and longtime host of The Game Awards, Geoff Keighley, has announced that the nominees for the eleventh awards ceremony will be revealed next Monday, November 17, at 8:00 PM Moscow time.

As in previous years, the nominations will be showcased via a livestream on the official TGA YouTube channel, where Keighley will swiftly highlight the key nominees. Simultaneously, voting will open for the «Game of the Year» category on the event’s website. It’s important to note that player votes will only account for a tiny fraction, as the ultimate winner will largely be decided by the jury, which does not include Keighley himself.

Later on, likely in early December, voting will commence for the «Players’ Choice» category, which will again consist of multiple stages. Last year, this category featured 30 titles. From those, the finalists included Black Myth: Wukong (the winner), Genshin Impact, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Wuthering Waves, and Zenless Zone Zero.

The 2025 installment of The Game Awards will take place during the night of December 12 (Moscow time). The exact timing is yet to be confirmed.
