Welcome to PC Gamer’s annual Game of the Year Awards. Each day, for the rest of the month, we’ll be unveiling a new award, with our ultimate Game of the Year to be revealed on December 31.Here’s how it works: each staff member was asked to nominate up to six games—including expansions and early access releases—that released this year. We then hopped onto a giant global call, and through a mixture of democracy, impassioned pleas and outright arguments, chose the games we wanted to honour with an award. Once we’ve chosen the games, we assign each an award name to fit it, which is why you’ll see slightly different categories each year.Alongside the main awards, each PC Gamer staff member has also picked a personal favourite of the year. We’ll be updating this page with new awards and staff picks throughout the rest of the month, as they’re unveiled.The AwardsBest Ongoing Game: Final Fantasy XIVBest Action Game: Revealed December 20Best Roguelike: Revealed December 21Best Adventure Game: Revealed December 22Best Co-op Game: Revealed December 23Best Card Game: Revealed December 24Best Innovation: Revealed December 25Best VR Game: Revealed December 26Best Multiplayer Game: Revealed December 27Best RPG: Revealed December 28Best FPS: Revealed December 29Best Strategy Game: Revealed December 30Game of the Year: Revealed December 31Staff PicksEmma Matthews: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2Check back for more Staff Picks, revealed each day between now and December 30.Past AwardsGame of the Year Awards 2019Game of the Year Awards 2018Game of the Year Awards 2017Game of the Year Awards 2016Game of the Year Awards 2015Game of the Year Awards 2014Game of the Year Awards 2013
