Expedition 33 Becomes The Most Awarded Game Ever

In a stunning turn of events, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the RPG from Sandfall Interactive, has etched its name in the annals of gaming history. This 2025 sensation has surpassed Elden Ring to become the most awarded game ever, a testament to its profound impact on the gaming world. The game’s monumental achievement was cemented after it gathered an unprecedented number of Game of the Year (GOTY) awards, a feat made possible by meticulous research on ResetEra forums led by user Angie. The scope of this research is breathtaking, encompassing a vast array of award categories from prestigious industry ceremonies like The Game Awards and the Golden Joystick Awards to specialized podcasts and player choice awards.

To ensure the credibility of the data, stringent eligibility guidelines were adhered to, including a focus on websites, magazines, newspapers, and broadcasts with a multi-person staff and a history of at least a year. What’s remarkable about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s achievement is that it’s likely to continue growing, with several major ceremonies yet to take place, including the DICE Awards, Game Developers Choice Awards, and the BAFTA Games Awards. This leaves Sandfall Interactive’s masterpiece poised to set an even higher bar, essentially competing against itself.
