Forums - Gaming - VGChartz Official Game of the Year 2024 – Final Voting Now Closed!

Per this article on the front page, Final Voting is now open for our 18th annual Game of the Year Awards.

 

>>Vote Here<<

   

Frequently Asked Questions:
  
Q - When does voting close?
A – Final Voting closes on 27th December, 2024.

Q - Can I change my vote/edit my voting form after submitting it?
A - Yes, you can edit your voting form up until we close voting.

Q - Do I have to select a game for every award?
A - Nope. Select your favourite for as many or as few categories as you wish.

Q - Why can’t I vote for game XXXXXXX?
A – Unfortunately it didn’t make the cut during Preliminary Voting!

Q – I’d like to see an award for Best XXXXXX, it’s a shame you don’t do one.
A – Let us know in the comments; we’re always open to suggestions, especially for new or replacement categories. 

Q – How is the winner in each category determined?
A – By a mixture of community and staff voting, weighted 50/50. On the community side we use the Google Form that’s linked above, while on the staff side we vote individually on the staff forums. The staff’s results are converted into percentages for each game in each category. These percentages are combined with the percentages from the community’s results, with the total then being divided by two to get an average. This average determines both the final Shortlist of games to be featured in each award article and the Winners themselves.

Q - When and how will the Winners be announced?
A – Winners will be announced in a series of articles (as well as a thread I'll post) that we'll start publishing in early January.

They didn't get enough votes in the first round of public voting.



Unsurprisingly FF7 Rebirth will be my pick. Gonna be interesting to see the results!



Since I won't have time to tally all the votes tonight, we're extending the deadline for voting by ~24 hours. Voting will now close this time tomorrow.



Voting is now closed. Thank you to everyone who voted! You helped make it so that this year we got the second most amount of votes since we started doing the public vote by Google Forms in 2016.

The winners and the other games that made the final shortlists will start being revealed in early January.

Wow, I wasn’t expecting to read that. Has VGChartz been growing over the past year? With how dormant the industry has been (comp to 2022 & 2023), I’m a little surprised.
