12 games are up for the “Ultimate” prize
We’re officially entering Game of the Year season, folks! Today, the team behind the Golden Joystick Awards 2024 revealed their 12 games that are up for the “Ultimate” GOTY prize, and one of them is technically an Xbox first-party title.
That game is… (drum roll please)… Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Yes, there’s no place for the likes of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 or Age of Mythology: Retold in here, and obviously Indiana Jones is still a bit too far away to be considered.
Here’s the full list of nominations for Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards 2024:
Animal Well
Astro Bot
Balatro
Black Myth: Wukong
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Helldivers 2
Metaphor: ReFantazio
Satisfactory
Silent Hill 2
Tekken 8
The rest of the categories have been voted on over the past month, so there’s every chance Xbox will walk away with multiple awards. That said, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Astro Bot have the most nominations overall at five each.
If you’re interested in submitting your vote for the Ultimate GOTY award, you can do so over on GamesRadar. You’ve got until Friday, November 8th – and then all the winners will be revealed on Thursday, November 21st.
