As the gaming world eagerly awaits the industry’s biggest awards (The Game Awards), PlayStation has launched its Game of the Year Awards for 2024 through its official blog. Despite a quieter year for major franchise releases, PlayStation shone with standout titles like Astro Bot, Black Myth: Wukong, and the much-anticipated Silent Hill 2 Remake, among others. Here are the details.
PlayStation Blog Game of the Year Awards 2024: Details
You cast your vote across 19 unique categories to determine this year’s winners. In a notable twist, PlayStation is allowing players to nominate their personal favourites even if those games are not included in the official list. After the polls close and votes are tallied, games will be awarded Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum trophies based on player preferences.
The PlayStation Blog has set specific criteria for the awards with the best PS5 games category, including only titles newly released in 2024 (excluding previously launched games that received updates).
Silent Hill 2 has led the pack with eight nominations across various categories. Close behind are Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and Stellar Blade, each earning seven nominations. The voting will be closed on December 13 and here are some notable categories.
