We're fast approaching the last Xbox-related event of the year in the form of The Game Awards 2024 on December 12th, but before we get there, the nominations have just been revealed - 11 of which are for Xbox-owned games!
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 have both received four nominations each this year, while Diablo 4 appears twice and Age of Mythology: Retold appears once. Here's the list of Xbox nominations for TGA 2024:
- Best Narrative - Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2
- Best Audio Design - Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 / Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2
- Best Performance - Melina Juergens, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2
- Innovation In Accessibility - Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 / Diablo 4
- Games For Impact - Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2
- Best Ongoing - Diablo 4
- Best Action Game - Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
- Best Sim / Strategy - Age of Mythology: Retold
- Best Multiplayer - Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
In terms of the big Game of the Year award though, there's no place for any of these. Here's the GOTY list:
- Astro Bot
- Balatro
- Black Myth: Wukong
- Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- Metaphor: ReFantazio
Obviously there are some actual Xbox games in the GOTY list there — we've had a blast playing the likes of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree and Metaphor: ReFantazio this year — but nothing specifically owned by Xbox made the list.
If you want to see the full list of nominations for every single category, as well as place your votes, you'll need to head over to the official Game Awards website. Then, we'll find out the winners during the huge showcase on December 12th!
