The Game Award for Game of the Year

The Game Award for Game of the Year is an award presented annually by The Game Awards to the game judged to be the best from that calendar year. The process begins with several dozen video game publications and websites, chosen by the Game Awards' advisory committee, to act as the jury each year. The board collectively names six games as nominees for Game of the Year, with any game released from the prior awards' cut off date to November of the current year eligible for nomination. After the nominees are released, the winner is selected by a combined vote consisting of 90% from the votes from juries and 10% by public voting.[1] Prior to The Game Awards 2018, there were five nominees for the award before it increased to six.
