Which studio has won the most Game of the Year awards?
Naughty Dog — 913 awards across
7 games and 4 season titles. But
the ranking hides two very different achievements. Third place belongs to
Sandfall Interactive, who got there with
a single game:
544 awards for one release, more per
game than any studio in this database.

The most-awarded studios
Every Game of the Year award won by games this studio developed, added up.
Rows marked in gold reached the top 15 with a single awarded game.
A total rewards persistence: Naughty Dog needed
7 awarded games to reach 913.
Awards per game asks the other question — how much did the world
agree on any one release — and it reorders the table completely.
The
tracked field grew from 40 outlets in 2003 to 683 in 2025, so a game from a
recent season can out-earn an older masterpiece without being more admired.
That is why the season pages use share — and why a studio active in
one modern year can outrank a decade of work. Read
how the field grew before drawing
conclusions.
Studios versus the labels that ship them
Developers make the games; publishers accumulate them. The largest
publisher, Sony Interactive Entertainment,
carries 2,059 awards from 50 awarded
games — more than any single studio, because a label collects the output of
many. It is the same data seen from the other end of the credits.
