- PlayStation has crowned Ghost of Yotei the Best PS5 Game for 2025.
- The title has also won other awards for its art direction and visuals.
- Other titles like Death Stranding 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 have also been recognized in the blog post.
The Game Awards 2025 wrapped up, and much to PlayStation’s disappointment, Ghost of Yotei left the event with no awards to its name. This scenario was similar to Spider-Man 2’s fate in 2023, with neither game winning a single award despite multiple nominations.
Over a week later, however, Ghost of Yotei has finally won its first Game of the Year award. Interestingly, the award comes from PlayStation itself.
Why it matters: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has dominated every other award show this year, but it seems the PlayStation Blog awards stand out as an outlier.
The PlayStation Blog returned with its annual awards earlier this week, crowning Ghost of Yotei the Best PS5 Game, effectively the PlayStation Blog’s equivalent to Game of the Year. The runner-ups in this category included Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Death Stranding 2, and Arc Raiders, respectively.
If this scenario sounds familiar, it’s because Sony did the same for Spider-Man 2 in 2023. After the game failed to win anything substantial at The Game Awards 2023, it received a Game of the Year win from PlayStation itself.
Elsewhere, Ghost of Yotei has been given the most prestigious award for Best Graphical Showcase, Best Art Direction, and more. PlayStation has also awarded first-party titles like Marvel’s Wolverine the Most Anticipated Game title.
The gaming giant has also recognized other titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition, Battlefield 6, and Death Stranding 2 in its latest blog post. However, it’s interesting to see PlayStation handing out multiple awards to its own first-party titles.
