Famitsu: 25 Game of the Year awards

Famitsu is a print magazine from Japan, founded in 1986. It appears in this database with 25 Game of the Year picks across 22 award seasons (1990–2025); its most frequent pick was Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

In the seasons tracked at full breadth, 5 of its 23 picks went to the game that won the season overall; the most recent was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in 2025.

The first Famitsu Awards covered 2005; the awards were based substantially on game-fan voting, and 2005 and 2006 each produced joint Grand Prize/Game of the Year winners.
