Hardcore Gamer: 10 Game of the Year awards

Hardcore Gamer is a website from United States, founded in 2005. It appears in this database with 10 Game of the Year picks across 10 award seasons (2012–2021); its most frequent pick was Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Hardcore Gamer began as a print magazine in 2005, transitioned to an online publication by 2012, and was acquired by Valnet in 2023.

No qualifying overall GOTY was verified for the requested pre-2012 years; the supplied web-era GOTY series begins in 2012.

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.
