Elk jaar is er een verkiezing welke games de beste van het afgelopen jaar zijn. Dit globale event heet The Game Awards en de genomineerden voor 2015 zijn bekendgemaakt.
Opvallend en zoals ook wel verwacht zijn Fallout 4 en The Witcher 3: met respectievelijk drie en zes nominaties de meest populaire titels dit jaar. Ook Bloodborne, Super Mario Maker, Batman: Arkham Knight, Her Story en Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain komen meerdere malen in de lijst voor, wellicht vanwege hun populariteit.
De Game Awards 2015 worden zoals de voorgaande edities in december gehouden. Dit jaar zal de op 3 december zijn, en wordt het event live uitgezonden via Twitch en YouTube.
