The Game Awards broke down the list of most nominated publishers. Perhaps unsurprising given Astro Bot‘s critical popularity but PlayStation was nominated a whopping 16 times. Following that, Square Enix and Xbox are tied with 12. Sega follows with 11. Other notable publishers include Bandai Namco with six while Konami, PlayStack, Devolver and Ubisoft all trail with five each.
The Game Awards 2024 will be live-streamed from the Peacock Theater on Dec. 12 at 7:30 PM ET/4:30 PM PT. For more information, check out the official website.
