Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is now the most-awarded Game of the Year of all time, having overtaken a massive record previously held by FromSoftware's open-world behemoth Elden Ring.
ResetEra user Angie has been keeping track of all of the 2025 Game of the Year awards, including those from major awards shows like The Game Awards and the Golden Joystick Awards, as well as gaming-focused media outlets (including us!), their readers' choice awards if applicable, and podcasts. Per the eligibility guidelines outlined on ResetEra, amongst a few other rules, GOTY awards from "websites, magazines, newspapers, radio, TV broadcasts, podcasts, industry ceremonies, and online entertainment companies" are counted if they've been running for at least a year, have more than one staff member, and don't primarily focus on a single platform.
