Game Developers Choice Awards: 35 Game of the Year awards

Game Developers Choice Awards is a awards body from United States, founded in 2001. It appears in this database with 35 Game of the Year picks across 26 award seasons (2000–2025); its most frequent pick was Balatro.

In the seasons tracked at full breadth, 13 of its 32 picks went to the game that won the season overall; the most recent was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in 2025.

Its pick furthest from the consensus was Sky: Children of the Light in 2019, which finished No. 24 that season with 1 award in total. Its earliest pick on record is The Sims, for 2000.

The awards have presented an annual Game of the Year since the inaugural 2001 ceremony honoring games released in 2000.
