The awards show makes the winners. You pick them first.
The 2026 season
Game of the Year Picks 2026
25 categories, one sheet. Picks open when the nominees are announced, expected Monday, November 16, and lock when the show starts on Thursday, December 10. Create or join a private match now so your group is ready.
How it works
Pick
Pick the winner in all 25 categories before the show. Game of the Year is worth 3 points, the rest 1, and a perfect sheet earns 5 more.
Compete
Private matches with your friends on an invite code. Same sheet, your own table.
Beat them
The panel publishes its prediction sheets, and the crowd's majority pick is on the board too. Finish above both.
Then: your Top 10 of 2026
After the show, the lists season opens. Publish your Top 10 games of 2026 and see how it matches your friends' lists and the published panel lists.
