![PlayStation Blog Game of the Year Winners](https://images.pushsquare.com/3ea884b02379a/playstation-blog-game-of-the-year-winners.900x.jpg)
The official PlayStation Blog has revealed the results of its Game of the Year 2024 polls. Users were invited to vote across a number of categories, and the blog itself says that over 1.6 million votes were submitted globally. Imagine keeping track of all those!
Anyway, the big winners include Astro Bot (which swept six different awards), Stellar Blade, Black Myth: Wukong, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Fairly predictable winners — for the most part — but the full thing makes for an interesting read.
We've gone ahead and gathered the results below.

We've just had our own Game of the Year poll here on Push Square, and while we're not dealing with almost 2 million votes — thank god — we are very busy behind the scenes, getting everything set up. We wonder whether there'll be some comparisons to draw between our audience and those who visit the PlayStation Blog...
What do you make of these awards? Do you agree with most of them? Some of them? Any of them? Have your say in the comments section below.

This makes me so angry I'm going to review bomb a completely irrelevant game (just kidding Astro bot rules)
You mean that robbie williams chinese game with the monkey didnt win ??
Wukong was (and still is) a visual mess on PS5. The fps is bad in quality mode and just using frame gen to get from 30 to anywhere near 60 not only has input lag but reduces the screen to an ugly blur.
@Brundleflies21 I found wukong very sluggish ,looked great in parts , but it clearly needs better optimisation , dragon age at least on pro ,with regards to graphical fidelity , looks better.
With the exception of BMW getting best graphical showcase i agree with the list. I also don't know about Eve getting best new character as I've not played Stellar Blade.
wukong 81 on metacritic not worthy of game of the year or even to be nominated..
@lazarus11 It's a visual showcase on a high end PC but very poorly optimised (as you point out) on PS5.
@Brundleflies21 yeah I've seen the pc version, it's fabulous 👌, it sold millions on ps5 it seems they won't be that fussed , as they're more concerned about not winning an award 🙄
I hope GameScience's CEO doesn't find out he didn't win another GOTY
@Cloud39472 Well she is a new character and based on the user scores of Stellar Blade most people loved her too. Now if the award was instead best new personality then maybe you would have a point 🤷
"Best Art Direction: Astro Bot"
Astro Bot is charming and cute but it's not that unique. So i voted for Kunitsu Gami which i think the art style looks the most beautiful and unique for this year release. But i guess there's not many people who played the game 😔
Anyway. Congrats to Astro Bot wins. I can't wait to see what Team Asobi can do for their next game. But with all these awards, i wonder if Sony gonna expand the studio so they can do multiple projects, like team A do Astro Bot sequel and team B do something with classic IP maybe a new Ape Escape or Wild Arms? Hmm...
I had my own game awards all to myself. Dragon's Dogma 2 swept up.
I thought BMW looked fantastic, both on the base ps5 and on the pro. I haven't had any of the issues people have reported. Appreciate the pro patch isn't as effective as some others, but the balanced mode is welcome
Just beat Astro Bot yesterday. But I haven't collected all the bots or puzzle pieces yet. Have to work on that I guess.
Love Astro Bot but best for Accessibility features? No. It had like no customisation settings to tweak gameplay. It wasn’t good on that front.
Refreshing to see Ghost of Yotei beat GTA6
Good to see some love for the Re4 VR mode.
I love Stellarblade, but Eve isn’t even the most interesting character in that game, let alone all games released this year.
That's nice but ima need half of the people who voted for Astro Bot but didn't buy it to actually buy it😂😎✌🏽.
@somnambulance GTA6 wasn't one of the voting options for Most Anticipated Game. Maybe Sony's expecting it to be delayed to 2026 because of no trailer 2 this year so far and Wolverine (which got 2nd) ends up releasing in Fall 2025?
@Grumblevolcano Frankly, I wouldn’t mind if GTA6 pushed back into 2026 as long as it gets a firm release date. I have zero interest in Wolverine, so it does warm my heart that PlayStation fans are more excited about Ghost instead.
I think they meant Breast New Character
His name is.... ASTRO BOT!
@Cloud39472 Lol I was going to say the same thing. I like the game but it's biggest flaw is it copied Nier Automata without adding any of the depth that made that game a modern classic. By the end of Automata 2B was human in my eyes. EVE never went beyond dress-up doll.
Astro deserves all the love it gets
