Sony Interactive Entertainment is proving to be the most nominated publisher with 22 nominations across its wide portfolio of titles. The achievement has only been beaten by Nintendo, which received 23 nominations in 2017 – the same year games such as The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild and Super Mario Odyssey released.
Nominations are now open for The Game Awards for gaming fans to cast their vote. Fans can visit here to begin voting for their favourite games.
The event itself has previously been said to be streaming from three cities – London, Los Angeles and Tokyo – and will be the first time the event will operate without an audience, turning into a fully online event.
