The Game Awards 2023 is over, and now it's time for the real reason we all tuned in: to find out if the Push Square community correctly predicted Geoff Keighley's big show! As has become tradition, we asked all of you to vote in a 20-question yes or no quiz, in an attempt to try and predict what would happen during The Game Awards 2023.
This year's event served up some genuine surprises, so these results should make for an interesting read...
Just to recap, the community's score for The Game Awards 2022 was 14/20 — which isn't bad at all — but can we top it?
Let's find out!
Question 1: Will Geoff Keighley be wearing a tie when he first appears on stage? (2,102 votes)
52% Yes
48% No
Correct!
Ooooh, a close one to start us off. Thankfully, Geoff did indeed wear a tie during this year's show. Smartly done.
Question 2: Will a new PlayStation Studios game be announced? (2,105 votes)
56% Yes
44% No
Wrong!
Sadly, we didn't get any brand new game announcements from PlayStation Studios. God of War Ragnarok's getting its free Valhalla DLC, but that doesn't count. Unlucky!
Question 3: Will Marvel's Spider-Man 2 win an award? (2,116 votes)
75% Yes
25% No
Wrong!
Uh oh, we're already dropping points here. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 didn't win a single award on the night, which is perhaps an indication of just how crazy this year has been for top quality games.
Question 4: Will Genshin Impact win the Players' Choice award? (2,043 votes)
28% Yes
72% No
Correct!
Okay, we're back! Baldur's Gate 3 beat Genshin Impact to the punch for Player's Choice, which is impressive, since the anime-styled adventure was actually dishing out premium currency in exchange for fan votes.
Question 5: Will a new Monster Hunter game be revealed? (2,026 votes)
34% Yes
66% No
Wrong!
Oh ye of little faith... You were wrong, and we couldn't be happier. Monster Hunter Wilds ended up being the big surprise at the end of the show!
Question 6: Will a new Stars Wars game be announced? (2,035 votes)
24% Yes
76% No
Correct!
We'll admit, you've done well on this one. It feels like some kind of new Star Wars game is announced at every major gaming event — but not this time.
Question 7: Will the first Final Fantasy 16 expansion get an early 2024 release date? (1,987 votes)
50% Yes (990 votes)
50% No (997 votes)
Correct!
Wow, this is just about as close as it gets — and you managed to get it right. The question specifically asks about the first Final Fantasy 16 expansion, which is out right now. The second is coming in spring next year, which we probably would have counted as 'early 2024'. Well played (just!).
Question 8: Will we see PlayStation boss Jim Ryan at any point during the show? (1,994 votes)
23% Yes
77% No
Correct!
You were right not to expect much from Uncle Jim — the PlayStation boss was nowhere to be seen during the show.
Question 9: Will Death Stranding 2 get a trailer that lasts more than three minutes? (1,985 votes)
57% Yes
43% No
Wrong!
Shockingly, there was no Death Stranding 2 trailer. Hideo Kojima and surprise guest Jordan Peele rattled on about their other project, OD, for what felt like an eternity instead.
Question 10: Will Diablo 4 win an award? (1,966 votes)
30% Yes
70% No
Correct!
On the night, Diablo 4 didn't get one award — and you lot saw it coming!
Question 11: Will anyone noticeably outstay their welcome on stage when accepting an award? (1,941 votes)
78% Yes
22% No
Wrong!
This one stings. In an insane twist, no one noticeably outstayed their welcome after picking up an award, because Geoff and the gang pushed them all off stage as soon as possible!
Question 12: Will Hideo Kojima and Geoff Keighley embrace on stage? (1,928 votes)
67% Yes
33% No
Correct!
Geoff and Hideo did indeed embrace, albeit briefly, after the latter walked on stage to talk about OD. Awwww!
Question 13: Will more than 10 brand new games be announced for PS5 during the main show? (1,932 votes)
40% Yes
60% No
Wrong!
You were unlucky on this one — it was an intentionally tricky question. By our count, more than ten brand new games were announced with PS5 as a confirmed platform, but only just.
Question 14: Will more than three remakes or remasters (for PS5) be announced during the main show? (1,908 votes)
49% Yes
51% No
Correct!
This may be a controversial decision, but we're going to call this one 'correct'. That's because SEGA announced a bunch of property revivals in one trailer — but we don't know if they're 'remakes' or if they're actually new games. Consider this point an early Christmas present.
Question 15: Will Alan Wake 2 win more than three awards? (1,904 votes)
38% Yes
62% No
Correct!
You were one award away from getting this prediction wrong. On the night, Alan Wake 2 managed to win exactly three awards.
Question 16: Will anything to do with Borderlands be announced during the main show? (1,851 votes)
29% Yes
71% No
Correct!
There was no mention of Borderlands at all during the show (some may argue this was a good thing).
Question 17: Will Grand Theft Auto 6 be mentioned in any capacity during the main show? (1,908 votes)
76% Yes
24% No
Wrong!
Shockingly, there was no passing mention of Grand Theft Auto 6 whatsoever, just days after its all-important reveal trailer. We would have voted yes as well!
Question 18: Will Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree get a trailer? (1,878 votes)
62% Yes
38% No
Wrong!
Nope, Elden Ring didn't show up. We can totally understand why most of you voted yes, though, given Geoff's clearly close relationship with FromSoftware. We guess the DLC just isn't ready for the spotlight yet.
Question 19: Will Kratos be mentioned by name at any point during the main show? (1,866 votes)
49% Yes
51% No
Wrong!
This one is brutal. Just over half of you said it wouldn't happen, but it did: Kratos was mentioned by name by none other than Geoff Keighley, following the God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla trailer.
Question 20: Will Baldur's Gate 3 win Game of the Year? (1,960 votes)
85% Yes
15% No
Correct!
Ahhh, this one was easy! Of course Baldur's Gate 3 won Game of the Year (but still, congrats on calling it).
Final Score: 11/20
You've dropped three points on last year's result, but that's honestly not a bad score considering the craziness of this year's event. And, let's face it, some of those questions were really tricky. We reckon this is a passing grade, and on that note, we hope to see you again in 2024!

The dream was Ghost of Tsushima 2, but Monster Hunter is a very nice consolation prize.
It’s sort of sad, but this year in gaming seems like it’s over now. What a year we had! Can’t wait to see how 2024 stacks up… because “2025” seemed more commonly stamped on those trailers than “2024” did.
Also, Kojima’s leaving me in real suspense over two games now? Jeez, can we get one next year?
11 out of 20 is totally random if there are only two answers given. So the readers are as clever as a monkey casting dice.
It has been a banging year for gaming, my absolute highlight is Final16. Blew me away
I'd argue that every winner clearly outstayed their welcome, as TGA made it known that the winners were not welcome on the TGA stage for longer than 30 seconds. And of course, a welcome has to come from the host of the gathering, so, semantically, we got 12 right.
Let's goooooo 😁
I got most of them right
I think 2024 will be one of those break years for AAA esp on the PlayStation side. Looks like Wolverine and Persona 6 could go into 2025 with some other huge games.
It will be a good year for JRPG fans though. Some interesting Simulation games coming out too.
It could be a very interesting year for hardware with the potential console refreshes and next Nintendo console.
I’m twenty grand down, I was certain Geoff was going turtle neck…….
They’re gonna take my thumbs!!!!
The show was a total farce. It needs to be renamed the The advert and game reveal show.
"Shockingly, there was no Death Stranding 2 trailer. Hideo Kojima and surprise guest Jordan Peele rattled on about their other project, OD, for what felt like an eternity instead."
Aww didums, the nerve of them discussing an Xbox exclusive when they should be talking about a PS5 exclusive...
Wind it in, not everything should revolve around PS.
@VanguardKaiser
...and here I was thinking that these developers and publishers are actually taking it all seriously. The guy from Remedy seemed genuinely honored to win Best Game Direction. And the guy who won for Best Performance was so thrilled to have his name called. Sure it is a showcase of upcoming games and talent but the show is not as (to use an overused word) cringy as it used to be. It think it feels more legitimate than ever.
I got 14 right! I would have thought Death Stranding 2 was a shoe in and Elder Ring dlc as well. And can’t believe no muttered a single mention of GTA.
@GeeForce Oh hush this ain't about PS vs Xbox. Relax...
@GeeForce
To be fair, Death Stranding is not a PlayStation exclusive as it is now on Xbox too. And to the writer's point, the entire thing was kinda unnecessary and most of the people in that room and at home would have rather seen something about Death Standing 2 both Xbox and Playstation fanboys included.
Edit: this is a Playstation fan site in case you forgot.
Just to say PushSquare Team, thank you. This little quiz has become a bit of an annual tradition now and i always look forward to it.
Thank you for continuing to run things like this (on that note we havent had a weekly quiz for a while 😄)
Only one I got wrong was Spider man 2 winning an award. Gotta check my biases. Also is there a way to check what we voted for just in case my ego has rewritten memories.
DE said they were gonna reveal when cross save will be coming in their live stream for warframe but didn't see anything. Did I miss it?
Congratulations to larian studio for winning 2023 game of the year.with the amazing Baldur's gate 3.both divinity original sin enhanced edition games are instant classic.word up son
@MikeOrator
Death Stranding is on Xbox?
Don't think so and 2 doesn't look like it will be either.
I did predict Monster Hunter would definitely show up ...Excited to be right about that! I did not expect that 2025 release window, though ...Hoped for something by March or next year in general.
@GeeForce
My bad. It’s through Xbox storefront on PC. I did a quick search because a while ago every one on the PlayStation forums was complaining it was no longer ps exclusive. Oh well…unlike my wife I’m not right about everything.
@MikeOrator
I can't judge you on that mix up, I originally seen that too and actually (albeit afterwards from a 3rd party site) bought it! 😂
Thankfully I have a underused PC to play it on.
