The nominations for The Game Awards were announced today and Xbox’s group of excellent first part studios came out on top as the most nominated publisher. In total, Xbox Game Studios has 20 nominations for games like Deathloop, Psychonauts 2, and Forza Horizon 5.
A big day for our 1st party teams. Congratulations on a record 20 nominations across Xbox/Bethesda studios. https://t.co/hvYh7pBHYL

Deathloop and Psychonauts 2 were both nominated for Game of the Year, while Forza Horizon 5 was snubbed despite being the highest rated game that released this year.
All in all, this was a good outcome for Xbox, and just one more reminder of how many great games are coming out of their first party family.
