The ceremony of The Game Awards is currently going on at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, and the winners are gradually being announced.
The awards aim to honor the best games and developers of 2022, and if you want to keep up, we’re consistently updating the list of winners in this very post, so you can see what’s what in case you lose track.
The nominees have been decided by a jury composed of representatives of over 100 media outlets and influencers, with 10 nominations from Sony’s God of War Ragnarok, 7 for Horizon Forbidden West, and 7 for Elden Ring. As a result, Sony also leads nominations as a publisher.
While fans have been encouraged to vote for the awards, the public vote only determines 10% of the results, while 90% is determined by the will of the aforementioned jury.
