Earlier today, host Geoff Keighley took to the stage to reveal all of the nominees for the annual The Game Awards event. With over 30 different categories, most of the biggest games of 2023 are represented somewhere on the nominees; however, the Game of the Year award is the event’s most prestigious prize and only six games can be nominated each year. Because of the tight competition, some fans have taken exception to their favorite games not making the list. Many of them almost immediately ran to Twitter to voice their displeasure and explain why their favorite game of 2023 should replace one of the six nominees for The Game Awards 2023’s GOTY.

- Resident Evil 4
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Thankfully, we only have to wait a few more weeks to see which of the awards wins The Game Awards Game of the Year trophy for 2023. Geoff Keighley’s event is set for December 7, starting at 6:30 PM CT. As always, the event will feature many of the awards being given out, while also showing fans plenty of world premiere trailers, giving us all a look at some of the games we’ll be voting for in next year’s Game of the Year and beyond.
Of course, you can also make your voice heard (though you won’t be able to change the nominations), by heading to the official Game Awards site. There, users can sign in and vote on all 30+ categories. Of course, the fan vote only makes up 10% of the total vote, so your ability to sway the proceedings is minimal. That said, fans do have enough sway to make it worth doing your part in deciding who’s going to win The Game Awards 2023.
