Another year is coming to an end and players got the opportunity to vote for their favorite PlayStation game in different categories. We’ve had several winners in different categories and Spider-Man 2 took home the biggest prize – PS5 Game of the Year.
This outcome is no surprise, especially considering the fact that the game was massively praised by both players and critics alike. Meanwhile, Hogwarts Legacy won the Game of the Year award for the PS4 in a super-tight competition and while squeezing past Resident Evil 4 Remake by just half a percent of votes.
Players were able to cast their votes in 18 different categories. You can see all the winners below:
· Best New Character – Venom (Spider-Man 2)
· Best Story – Spider-Man 2
· Best Graphical Showcase – Spider-Man 2
· Best Art Direction – Alan Wake 2
· Best Audio Design – Spider-Man 2
· Soundtrack of the Year – Spider-Man 2
· Best Accessibility Features – Spider-Man 2

Insomniac truly won the hearts of millions of PlayStation players this year, but while celebrating these amazing victories, the company struggling with a data leak from hackers. Thankfully, the gaming industry has shown great support for the whole team and I am also keeping my fingers crossed, hoping these issues are resolved sooner rather than later.
