Astro Bot and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth lead the 2024 Game Awards nominations with seven each. Notably, Elden Ring's expansion makes history with a Game of the Year nod.
Indie title Balatro secured five nominations, including Best Independent Game and Best Mobile Game, showcasing a strong year for smaller developers amid stiff competition.
The inclusion of DLCs for Game of the Year sparked mixed reactions from fans, as it highlights a shift in the award's eligibility criteria and what constitutes a 'new' game.
This year's awards see no Nintendo-published titles nominated for Game of the Year, marking a departure from the trend of previous years and indicating changing dynamics in gaming.
