PS Blog Game of the Year Winners: How the List Differs from The Game Awards Winners 2025

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ most significant difference between the PlayStation Blog Game of the Year awards and The Game Awards 2025 is the method by which winners are selected. PS Blog awards are entirely fan-voted. The Game Awards public voting is combined with a large critic jury, which often changes the outcome in major categories.

Game of the Year

The Game Awards generally single out one overall Game of the Year for their main prize. PS Blog doesn't have that exact name, but instead gives the award for the Best PS5 Game, which was Ghost of Yōtei. While TGA Game of the Year is often about the biggest impact on the industry, PS Blog voters seemed to pick the game they played the most and their interaction with the DualSense and accessibility features.

Best Multiplayer Game

At The Game Awards, multiplayer winners most of the time are reflective of competitive longevity or prominence in the esports scene. PS Blog players chose Battlefield 6 as Best Multiplayer Experience, thus concentrating on large-scale matches and the game's replay value rather than solely on the competitive structure. This outcome indicates that the majority of people were more interested in experiencing the moment with others than in the balance or ranking systems of the ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌game.

Best Action or Action-Adventure

TGA​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ classifications frequently delineate action games more strictly. Comparatively, PS Blog outcomes indicate more overlap. Ghost of Yōtei was a choice across combat, presentation, and hardware use, rather than being a single-genre-based award limited. It implies that the players judged the complete experience instead of a single mechanic.

Indie Game Recognition

Compared to The Game Awards, both of the award shows spotlighted indies differently. The Game Awards regularly reward innovations or those who experiment. PS Blog voters awarded Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 not only as the best indie, but also for story and music. This is a demonstration of how an indie can go head-to-head with AAA titles when the players are fully engaged with the game.

Ongoing Games

The Game Awards sometimes feature live-service games that are eligible for an award based on their recent updates only. PS Blog voters, on the other hand, were more into consistency and thus, Genshin Impact was their pick for Best Ongoing Game even when compared to newer titles. Endurance and steady support were the factors that counted more than the short-term ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌changes.

Overall, the PS Blog Game of the Year winners reflect what PlayStation players actually played and returned to. Compared to The Game Awards 2025, the list is less about industry trends and more about personal time spent. Together, both award shows give two different views of the same year, one from critics and one from players.
