Game Industry News: 17 Game of the Year awards

Game Industry News is a website from United States, founded in 1997. It appears in this database with 17 Game of the Year picks across 17 award seasons (2003–2019); its most frequent pick was Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

In the seasons tracked at full breadth, 5 of its 17 picks went to the game that won the season overall; the most recent was The Outer Worlds in 2019.

Its pick furthest from the consensus was Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands in 2017, which finished No. 13 that season with 2 awards in total. Its earliest pick on record is The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Bloodmoon, for 2003. 7 of its 17 picks were readers' votes rather than the editors' choice.

Game Industry News has run reader-voted Game of the Year awards since the late 1990s; overall winners are confirmed through 2019, while no equivalent 2020 or 2021 overall winner was verified.
