IGN Japan: 18 Game of the Year awards

IGN Japan is a website from Japan, founded in 2016. It appears in this database with 18 Game of the Year picks across 10 award seasons (2016–2025); its most frequent pick was Cyberpunk 2077.

In the seasons tracked at full breadth, 5 of its 18 picks went to the game that won the season overall; the most recent was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in 2025.

IGN Japan launched in 2016, so every requested year from 2003 through 2015 predates the outlet.

What "2016–2025" 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.
