There is no doubt that Elden Ring is one of the most stellar titles of this year, and we can’t really argue about it as the game took the world by storm even months after its launch. Probably the fact thatBandai Namcohas not discounted Elden Ring so far in any major sales gives you a good understanding of how great it performs.
Next to winning the Ultimate GOTY trophy, Elden Ring also managed to win three other awards for Best Visual Design, Best Multiplayer Game, and Critics' Choice Award. Also,FromSoftwarewon the award for Studio of the Year, thanks to developing such an amazing game.
Looking to the other fields of the ceremony, Horizon Forbidden West won the Best Storytelling,Cult of the Lambbecame the Best Indie Game,Vampire Survivorsachieved Breakthrough Award,Steam Deckwon the Best Gaming Hardware, and Manon Gage achieved Best Performer award for her stellar role inImmortality.
Golden Joysticks Awards chooses the winners based on the public votes, and according toGamesRadar, millions of votes were cast this year, which resulted in a massive win for Elden Ring in four different categories. Currently, there is a Golden Joysticks page on Steam that showcases all the nominees and winners of the ceremony, which are available with significant discounts on the platform.
