"A large voting jury made up of game critics and media decides 90% of the results. The remaining 10% comes from fan votes, so while that doesn't decide everything, your votes can still make a difference when the results are announced live on December 11. What's more, the first round of Players' Voice nominees have been revealed. These are picked exclusively by the general public."
""Creating a 100% fan vote presents several challenges. First, given that some games are exclusive to one platform, a public vote puts single-platform games at an inherent disadvantage over multi-platform titles," the organization says on its website. "In addition, it is important that winners cannot be 'socially engineered' in any way. We find that a blended vote is the most credible and authentic way to select winners.""
The Game Awards will take place with winners determined by a mixed voting system: a large jury of game critics and media deciding 90% and fans contributing 10%. Fans can vote on The Game Awards website and on Bilibili in China, with voting open until December 10 at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET. Registered voters can vote in all 29 categories, including Game of the Year. Players' Voice nominees are selected exclusively by the public. The organization cites platform exclusivity and risks of social engineering as reasons for a blended vote. Expedition 33 leads nominations with 12, followed by other major titles.
