Astro Bot wins overall Game of the Year with nearly 200 awards

As they do each year, hundreds of publications share their list of top titles from the past 12 months. With a majority of the 2024 award shows having come and gone, we now have a pretty complete picture of which title won the overall Game of the Year – that being Astro Bot with almost 200 awards.

In a thread collated through ResetEra, hundreds of different awards have been analysed and organised. If you’ve been following many of the major award shows, then the overall winner should not be too surprising. With a total of 196 GOTY wins, Team Asobi’s Astro Bot is by far the most celebrated game.

Beyond this, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth took home 56 GOTYs – with the indie poker-themed rogue-like Balatro landing in 3rd place with 46 total game of the year wins.

Finally, the rest of the top 10 is as follows:

• Metaphor: ReFantazio – 43
• Black Myth: Wukong – 42
• Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – 35
• Silent Hill 2 Remake – 18
• Helldivers II – 15
• Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 – 8
• Animal Well – 7

Of course, the games industry is vast and varied, with many other titles receiving their flowers from one publication to another.

Whether Astro Bot; Final Fantasy; Stellar Blade; Dragon’s Dogma or Palworld was your GOTY, there’s no denying that 2024 was an excellent year for video game releases of all kinds.
