The Game Awards 2024 took place on Thursday the 12th, the event that rewards the best video games of the year. In this edition among the nominees were Final Fantasy VII Rebirth with seven nominations, as well as Metaphor: ReFantazio with six; and Balatro and Silent Hill, with 5. But it was Astro Bot that won the title of best game of the year.
In addition to Astro Bot, which received seven nominations and six awards, the winning games in 29 other categories were also announced.
The Game Awards 2024 has an advisory board that includes personalities such as the president of Activision, Rob Kostich, the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer, or the founder of Kojima Productions, Hideo Kojima. However, they are awarded based on the results of a public vote open to all users.
The host of the gala and creator of the awards is Geoff Keighley, who a few weeks ago revealed the video games nominated for these awards in their tenth edition, in which Astro Bot and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth were positioned as favorites, competing with a total of seven nominations each.
