What is arguably the most important poll of the calendar year is here. It's time for you to help decide Push Square's official Game of the Year.
An annual tradition, the votes that you cast here today will be tallied alongside our own staff voting system that's currently running behind the scenes. The top five titles of this poll will have their points added to our overall Game of the Year vote.
So again, you get to have a direct say in which PS5 title we crown Game of the Year.
What's more, the winner of this poll will receive its own Community Game of the Year award and subsequent article — so there's plenty of reason to take this seriously!
Below, you'll be able to vote for up to five games, from a list of 50 (which has been meticulously put together by our editorial team). You must vote for at least three games, as this ensures that the voting process remains balanced.
Your votes are weighted. This means that your first choice earns more points than your second choice. Your second choice earns more points than your third — and so on. Consider your choices carefully.
Voting closes at midnight (GMT) on Monday the 15th December. In other words, our poll is open over the whole weekend.
So, without further ado, vote for your PS5 Game of the Year, and then at least try to explain yourself in the comments section below.

No Roadcraft? Boooooo!
1- Ghost of Yotei
2- Death Stranding 2
3- Blue Prince
4- Hell is Us
5- Ball x Pit
Can't vote for Once Upon a Katamari or Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo.
1. Ghost of Yotei
2. Clair Obscur
3. Death Stranding 2
In no particular order - cos I can't remember the order - Yotei, MGS3 and DS2 on the beach.
Twas a great year.
Ghost of Yotei, KCD2, either one should have won GotY instead of Claire Overhypa. Technically there are a bunch more qualified titles like MGS3, THPS 3+4, Oblivion, but remakes and remasters shouldn’t count in GotY runnings (although I’d be willing to break that rule if it meant knocking an overhyped game out of an undeserved position).
I don't think I've played any of those... my vote would go to Fatal Fury
Death Stranding 2 is easily my game of the year. Some amazing games this year, but Death Stranding 2 blew me away. Platinumed it and didn’t want it to end.
1. Death Stranding
2. Expedition 33
3. Cronos New Dawn
4. BallxPit
5. Ninja Gaiden Ragebound
Shout out to First Beserker, Hell is Us, and Metal Eden as also super enjoyable games.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter 🔥
Would have put a vote in for The First Berserker: Khazan
1) Clair Obscur
2) ARC Raiders
3) Ghost of Yotei
4) AC Shadows
5) MH Wilds
KCD2 in my backlog, along with DS2. Both look like games I'll love, but obviously I'm not going to vote for something I haven't played. Some great games on the long list for sure!
Expedition 33 is number 1 of course. Number 2 though I think I'd have to go with Dispatch actually. Really like that one more than I thought I would. 3rd would be Assassins Creed Shadows followed by Ghost of Yotei and coming in at 5 is Sonic Racing Crossworlds.
A great year indeed!

I'm waiting for Death Stranding 2 and Yotei to come to PC, I have KCD2 installed and waiting to be played, AC Shadows was fun, AI Limit and Khazan were great, Cronos and Dying Light Beast are on the backlog, Pipstrello was fantastic. That's off the top of my head at the moment lol.
1. KCD2
2. CLAIRRR
3. MHWilds
PushSquare's true goty will be the one in the no.2 spot. No.1 is reserved for PlayStatuon else they get shutdown. 😂
Clair Obscur, Silksong, KCD2, Absolum, and Oblivion Remastered for me. It’s been a sensational year for gaming.
I tried to right a wrong by giving kcd2 all the points😂 it wouldn't let me ,so i gave it 5 , cant remember the others, it wasn't e33 i know that😂
Hard to believe that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii released this year. Seems like an eternity ago.
Dear friend @Deadlyblack
Hollow Knight Silksong = Number 1
Seeing all those titles make me realize what a crazy good gaming year 2025 was. And next year could be even better 😯
Clair Obscur!!! You know who is top dog this year.
2026 - Sony loses GOTY to GTA VI
2027 - Sony and Naughty Dog lose GOTY to The Witcher 4?
Interesting times.
Clair obscur is an easy winner for me
Oblivion remastered was put out long enough ago to make this list. It populates this list right now and still hasn't been patched, therefore is still a broken mess. So I ask, why is it on this list???
Borderlands 4 too. The game shipped with a memory leak months ago that still isn't patched. hahaha
The GA's need to start 2 new categories for awards "least broken mess at release" award. And "most broken release" award.
Go Expedition 33!
If kingdom come 2 doesn’t win this then I give up hope
1) E33
2) KCD2
3) Yotei
4) Death Stranding 2
5) Mafia The Old Country
I’ve played video games probably all but 10 days this year. And oddly enough, I’ve not played a single one of the games on this list.
Edit: I stand corrected. Missed ARC Raiders on the list. Since it’s the only one I’ve played, and it’s great, it gets my vote.
1) Clair
2) Obscur
3) Expedition
4) 3
5) 3
Just kidding, I don’t like Mario & Luigi, so I‘m not interested in E33.
But maybe one day I will try KCD2. It has the potential for a stone cold classic, like a smaller brother of Witcher 3.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is getting robbed again!
The Top 3 are easy for me, after that it gets harder.
The real RPG of the year Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is at least my personal GotY.
How many miles you've wandered, at such a grueling pace. Rest your feet, dear maiden, sit here... upon my face
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Cronos: The New Dawn
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Ghost of Yotei
Sword of the Sea
Clair Obscur, Hell is Us, Cronos, Sword of the Sea out of principle alone.
1. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
2. Ghost of Yotei
3. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
4. Assassin's Creed Shadows
1. Trails in the Sky Remake
2. Wuthering Waves
3. Silent Hill F
4. Ghost of Yotei
5. Dispatch
If I was to include Switch 2 games as well then it would look a bit different.
1. Trails in the Sky Remake
2. Donkey Kong Bananza
3. Wuthering Waves
4. Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma
5. Hundred Line Last Defence Academy
1. Metal Gear Solid Delta
2. Elder Scrolls 4 Remastered
3. Final Fantasy Tactics
4. Indiana Jones
5. The Precinct
A couple of my favorite choices were sort of omitted in the voting this year for me.
Here’s what I voted for:
1. Death Stranding 2
2. Silksong
3. Blue Prince
4. Arc Raiders
5. Absolum
I would’ve voted for To a T, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, and Once Upon a Katamari over the last two options though when it comes to PS5.
Can’t wait for the grommage to come and scrub E33 out of the GotY discussion. I hope our humble community can give literally any other game GotY.
1. KCD2
2. Death Stranding 2
3. MGS Delta
4. Yotei
5. Battlefield 6
