Between its record-breaking Game Awards haul and it being named Game of the Year just about everywhere else, too, you might think it's a foregone conclusion that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is going to be everyone's GOTY. Well, not PlayStation players, apparently, as users of that particular console have dubbed Ghost of Yotei their favorite game of 2025.
The official PlayStation Blog has shared the results of its Game of the Year voting, and it's Ghost of Yotei, not Expedition 33, that has taken home the award for best PS5 game. Before you say, "Well, yeah, Expedition 33 isn't a PlayStation-published game, so it isn't eligible," fans were able to vote for any game that released on PS5 in 2025, whether it was published by PlayStation or not.
That's reflected in the runners-up for best PS5 game. The PlayStation Blog uses a trophy system, awarding Yotei a platinum, and Expedition 33 a gold, as it racked up the second-highest number of votes. Death Stranding 2 earned itself a silver trophy, and Arc Raiders bagged the bronze.
Yotei was far and away the biggest winner, picking up seven awards out of the ten categories...
