This is the season of awards, and while the biggest one already happened, some other outlets are doing their own. This time, PlayStation has hosted its own awards of 2022 in the PlayStation Blog. Most of the games there are PlayStation exclusives, although there are some other games that made the cut as well. It was a great year of gaming and it is nice to see Sony rewarding its own games. While the biggest winner is one that we were all expecting, there are some titles that got some great prizes as well and we’re happy to see them there. Without further ado, this is the list of all the PlayStation Blog Awards winners and nominees of 2022.

As you can see, the list of winners in the PlayStation Blog Awards of 2022 is dominated by one game. God of War: Ragnarok took most of the awards as it won due to users’ votes. Without a doubt, it was a great game that even got many prizes on The Game Awards of 2022, but Elden Ring ended up winning Game of the Year. Looking back at this year of games, it was amazing. Here, we hope that 2023 brings even greater releases, which seems that it’ll do. Dead Space Remake and Fire Emblem Engage are the ones that’ll kick off the year with many more in the coming months.
