Gameswelt: 18 Game of the Year awards

Gameswelt is a website from Germany, founded in 1999. It appears in this database with 18 Game of the Year picks across 16 award seasons (2010–2025); its most frequent pick was The Last of Us Part II.

In the seasons tracked at full breadth, 11 of its 18 picks went to the game that won the season overall; the most recent was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in 2025.

What "2010–2025" means.

It is the first and last year this outlet appears in our award data — not necessarily its founding or closing date. An outlet may have existed longer, or simply skipped a year's award.
