God of War Ragnarök led The Game Awards 2022 with 10 nominations, followed by FromSoftware’s Elden Ring which was up for seven at Thursday’s show — but it was Elden Ring that walked away with the game of the year award. The game-of-the-year nominees included PlayStation exclusives God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, and Stray, alongside the Nintendo Switch-only Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and multiplatform launches Elden Ring and A Plague Tale: Requiem.
