The 43rd Golden Joystick Awards kick off on November 20, and you can now cast your vote for Ultimate Game of the Year! But be quick, because voting closes on Friday, November 7 at 4 p.m. PST / 7 p.m. EST / midnight GMT. It's been another incredible year for gaming, and the nominations are diverse in experiences — from gripping stories and jaw-dropping presentation to truly unique gameplay and multiplayer thrills. To me, picking between these hit titles was like choosing my favorite kid, so good luck making a choice! And as you'd expect, this will be a star-studded event. Actor Maggie Robertson (the voice of Lady Dimitrescu in Resident Evil Village) will host the awards alongside guest presenters from the world of gaming — including Alix Wilton Regan of Cyberpunk 2077 fame, Ciara Berkeley (the voice of Ciri in The Witcher 4) and many more. So without further ado, here are the nominations and how you can watch the main event live!
