The Game Awards will be upon us soon, with the winners chosen by a mix of expert judges and fans. A large voting jury made up of game critics and media decides 90% of the results. The remaining 10% comes from fan votes, so while that doesn’t decide everything, your votes can still make a difference when the results are announced live on December 11. What’s more, the first round of Players’ Voice nominees have been revealed. These are picked exclusively by the general public.
People can vote on The Game Awards website, and fans in China can vote on Bilibili. Voting stays open until December 10, at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET. Anyone who signs up can vote in all 29 award categories, including Game of the Year.
On the official The Game Awards website, the organization outlines why the primary award categories are not 100% chosen by the general public.
