The Game Awards 2022 - Game of the Year nominees | General News | NintendoReporters

 [![The Game Awards 2022 – Game of the Year nominees](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/the-game-awards-2022-game-of-the-year-nominees.jpeg "The Game Awards 2022 – Game of the Year nominees")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/the-game-awards-2022-game-of-the-year-nominees.jpeg)As promised, the nominees for The Game Awards and the prestigious Game of the Year have been announced. This year, there have been a lot of good games, but The Game Awards team has narrowed the list down to six games for Game of the Year 2022. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 beat out Splatoon 3 and Bayonetta 3, which was a surprise.

Even though it’s probably not going to win, each vote counts.

## [](#game-of-the-year-the-game-awards-2022-nominees)Game of the Year – The Game Awards 2022 Nominees

1. A Plague Tale: Requiem
2. Elden Ring
3. God of War: Ragnarok
4. Horizon: Forbidden West
5. Stray
6. Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Our money for this is on Elden Ring all the way, God of War is great but Elden Ring caught the world by storm.
