The Game Awards GOTY Nominees
The Game Awards won’t officially unveil its nominees until November 18, giving the panel time to vote on the best titles throughout 2024. Oh, by the way, they’re including expansions, DLC, and game seasons this year, which means Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is available to nominate as GOTY.
The moment nominees become available, we’ll update this guide. For now, here are a few predictions we suspect will be in the running for Game of the Year:
- Astro Bot
- Metaphor: ReFantazio
- Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
- Shadow of the Erdtree
- Black Myth Wukong

Speaking of streaming, did you hear the news that Twitch streamers are experiencing rapidly plummeting ad revenue due to the site’s struggles? Insider Gaming reported on the matter recently, and we’ll keep an eye on how things are progressing on that front!
No Sparking Zero? Stellar Blade, First Descendant, Space Marine 2? This show is such trash! The nominees should be Sparking Zero, Wukong, Stellar Blade, Space Marine 2, First Descendant, and Astro Bot.
Final Fantasy 7 is ass, Metaphor I guess ok, and DLC shouldn’t be nominated! This show needs to end finally especially with Geoff wanting to trademark “Game Awards”
Dragon Ball should be nominated not Elden Ring DLC!! Boycott this shit! The shows haven’t been good since like 2016.
Geoff is streaming on more platforms for the “10th anniversary” show so he can once again lie and viewbot to make it seem like the “biggest audience” they’ve had ever.
