Xbox at the heart of the Game Awards?

For several years now, the green brand has not hesitated to mark its presence with impactful advertisements. Remember that the manufacturer still lifted the veil on Xbox Series X during the 2019 edition, but also Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. Last year, we were presented with the announcement of Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox Series X | Yes, but especially that of the expected Perfect Dark! It’s a safe bet that this year it will once again be ad-rich on the Xbox side!

In terms of nominations, we can expect the brand to stand out again with some really solid titles like Psychonauts 2, Age of Empires IV, and Forza Horizon 5. We can easily imagine that Psychonauts 2 will be nominated in the category. for Best Action Adventure Game, Age of Empires IV for Best Simulation / Strategy Game and finally Forza Horizon 5 for Best Sports / Racing Game. It’s not impossible for them to interfere in other categories, including Game of the Year! Halo Infinite, of course, won’t be around given its late release date.
