PS Blog Game of the Year Awards 2024: polls are now live

It’s been a big year for new releases, and today we’re celebrating the best of PlayStation gaming by asking you to cast your vote for your favorites of the year: the PS Blog Game of the Year Awards 2024 polls are now open!

We’re highlighting the exemplary work from studio powerhouses the world over across 19 categories. All help shine a light on the creatives whose hard work and exceptional craft has made this year’s gaming experiences so vibrant: amazing gameplay, memorable characters, exceptional art direction, unforgettable soundtracks, and much more.

The selections in each category are extensive, and you’ve further choice via the write-in option in each to add a title that, for you, best represents that category this year. As ever, the only votes counted in these awards are those cast by you, the players. Those games earning the majority votes by polls close will be recognised with Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum PS Blog trophies when we reveal the results in a few weeks.  

As ever, there are some guidelines regards the categories and their nominees:

  • Best PS5 Game category is defined as games that have been newly released this calendar year, rather than previously released titles with new updates.
  • As with the majority of the other categories, Best Multiplayer Experience focuses on titles released in 2024. Best Ongoing Game focuses on titles that have seen new, large-scale content or game-changing updates launch over this past year.
  • Best Rerelease refers to games that have been upgraded, ported, or remastered but are otherwise similar to their original game.  This category does not include full-scale remakes of older titles, which are eligible in other categories.
  • Cut off for inclusion in this year’s nominees list was November 30. Titles releasing after this date aren’t eligible for inclusion, but will be eligible for nomination and voting in next year’s Awards.
  • If a title won a Platinum Trophy in the Most Anticipated category any previous year, it won’t be eligible for inclusion this year to allow other titles a chance to shine. As such, Grand Theft Auto VI in The Most Anticipated Game of 2025 and Beyond category – as it earned a Platinum in that category in the 2023’s Awards.

So, cast your vote in the polls below to support your favorite games and developers. Don’t delay though: voting closes next Friday, December 13 at 23.59pm PT. So scroll below and get clicking.

Players’ Choice: Vote for November 2024’s best new game

November brought cool weather and cool new games. What did you enjoy most about last month’s title lineup? 

How does it work? At the end of every month, PlayStation Blog will open a poll where you can vote for the best new game released that month. After the polls close we will tally your votes, and announce the winner on our social channels and PlayStation.Blog. 

What is the voting criteria? That’s up to you! If you were only able to recommend one new release to a friend that month, which would it be? Note: re-released games don’t qualify, but remakes do. We define remakes as ambitious, larger-scale rebuilds such as Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Final Fantasy VII Remake.

How are nominees decided? The PlayStation Blog editorial team will gather a list of that month’s most noteworthy releases and use it to seed the poll.

(For Singapore and Malaysia) Celebrating the LEGO Horizon Adventures launch with a brand-new LEGO set

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for all of the brilliant reactions to LEGO Horizon Adventures’ launch this past week. We’ve been enjoying all of your comments and content, and on behalf of Guerrilla and Studio Gobo: we really appreciate you!

Of course, we’ve also seen the plethora of comments since the game’s announce back in June asking for a new LEGO set… and some of our eagle-eyed fans already spotted a tease in our recent Building Aloy’s World – Brick by Brick behind-the-scenes video. Surely we couldn’t create a LEGO game without also working together with our friends over at the LEGO Group on something extra special:


(For Singapore and Malaysia) Celebrating the LEGO Horizon Adventures launch with a brand-new LEGO set

We’re excited to announce the new LEGO Horizon Adventures Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth playset.

This 768-piece set allows LEGO fans to recreate the iconic adventures of Aloy and her loyal ally Varl. Armed with their trusty bow and spear capable of producing fire, shock or chill attacks, join the duo’s battle in jungle surroundings against two fully jointed machines, Shell-Walker and Sawtooth.

The Shell-Walker has posable legs and arms, opening claws and a detachable cargo pod and energy shield, while the fully articulated Sawtooth has opening jaws, a swivelling torso and a posable neck, head and legs.

The set will be available from March 1, 2025, but you can already pre-order from today via LEGO.com and selected retailers in Singapore and Malaysia. In the meantime, we hope you continue to enjoy LEGO Horizon Adventures — out now across PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.

PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for December: It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, Temtem

Learn to work together in a hilarious co-op adventure, think tactically to survive and outsmart the perfect organism, then discover and tame new species with the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for December. It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent and Temtem launch December 3 for PlayStation Plus members1.

But before we take a closer look at each game in turn, we want to share some PlayStation Plus activities taking place this December as part of the wider PlayStation 30th anniversary celebrations (which you may have had a glimpse of earlier this year). Activities include Tournaments, free Online Multiplayer Weekend, PlayStation Plus Premium Game Trial, an early look at Classic Games and more. You can find out more information further into this post. 

Now, back to the games!

It Takes Two | PS4, PS5

It Takes Two is a genre-bending platform adventure created purely for co-op. Choose from couch or online co-op with split-screen play, invite a friend to join for free with Friend’s Pass2 and work together across a huge variety of gleefully disruptive gameplay challenges. Play as the clashing couple Cody and May, two humans turned into dolls by a magic spell. Together, trapped in a fantastical world where the unpredictable hides around every corner, they are reluctantly challenged with saving their fractured relationship. Master unique and connected character abilities in every new level. Help each other across an abundance of unexpected obstacles and laugh-out-loud moments. Kick gangster squirrels’ furry tails, pilot a pair of underpants, DJ a buzzing night club, and bobsleigh through a magical snow globe. Embrace a heartfelt and hilarious story, where narrative and gameplay are interwoven in a uniquely metaphorical experience.    

Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5

Battle to keep your squad alive against the deadliest foe mankind has ever faced. Aliens: Dark Descent is a real-time combat strategy game where you’ll command a squad of hardened colonial marines to stop a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe. Lead your soldiers against iconic Xenomorphs, rogue operatives from the insatiable Weyland-Yutani Corporation and a host of horrifying creatures new to the Alien franchise. Infiltrate large open levels and annihilate enemies with your squad, dispatching orders strategically and intuitively. Tread carefully, as your foes will adapt their tactics to your actions while hunting you down because death is permanent. 

Temtem | PS5

Every kid dreams about becoming a Temtem tamer; exploring the six islands of the Airborne Archipelago, discovering new species, and making good friends along the way. Now it’s your turn to embark on an epic adventure and make those dreams come true. Catch new Temtem on Omninesia’s floating islands, battle other tamers on the sandy beaches of Deniz or trade with your friends in Tucma’s ash-covered fields. Defeat the ever-annoying Clan Belsoto and end its plot to rule over the Archipelago, beat all eight DojoLeaders, and become the ultimate Temtem tamer. 

All three games will be available to PlayStation Plus members on December 3 until January 6.
