Here Are Nominees for The Game Awards 2023

Alan Wake 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3 got the most nominations.

Nominees for The Game Awards 2023 have been announced, and they're probably what you expect. Alan Wake 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3 received the most nominations – each could potentially take home 8 awards. 

Of course, everyone wants to know who'll take the Game of the Year award. Last year, it was, predictably, Elden Ring. For Baldur’s Gate 3, it's a great opportunity to add more prizes to Larian's already impressive stack from the recent Golden Joystick Awards.
