The Game Awards will take place on December 7, with awards handed out across a range of categories, including best narrative, best gameplay and best art design, among others.
One of the most anticipated categories is the prestigious Game of the Year award, which will be handed out to the best all-round game from 2023.
Competition is hot for the award with six nominees on the shortlist to win the award.
What game is most likely to win Game of the Year 2023?
It is difficult to predict which game will win Game of the Year, as all of the nominees are strong contenders.
However, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is considered to be the frontrunner, as it is the sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time.
Additionally, Insomniac Games, the developer of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, has a strong track record of developing high-quality games.
Other nominees include Alan Wake 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil 4, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Which games have the most Game Awards 2023 nominations?
The two games with the most nominations are both sequels, Alan Wake 2 and Baldur's Gate 3.
In addition to both being in the Game of the Year award nominations, they also have eight nominations in total.

Previous Game of the Year winners
The first edition of the awards took place in 2014 and the Game of the Year award went to Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Since then, winners include The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015), Overwatch (2016), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017), God of War (2018), Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (2019), The Last of Us Part II (2020), It Takes Two (2021) and Elden Ring (2022).
That means that The Legend of Zelda could become the first series to win the title on more than one occasion.
