It probably feels like every Game of the Year list you've read through the end of 2025 and into 2026 has had Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at the top. That's because, for the most part, that's true. So far, so many award bodies, websites, and publications have declared Sandfall's first game as their favorite of 2025 that it now has more than 400 GOTYs and counting.
That's according to the in-depth and dedicated ResetEra thread, which keeps track of GOTY winners every year. According to the thread, which is run by Angie, Expedition 33 now has 404 Game of the Year awards. That means it has picked up 59 awards in the last week alone.
We know that because we checked in on Clair's GOTY haul on January 7, discovering that it had been dubbed the best game of 2025 by 345 outlets at that stage. That was notable because it had moved past The Last of Us Part 2, which, until Expedition 33 came along, had the second-highest Game of the Year haul of all time, ending its own GOTY run on 326 awards won.
Clair's continued quest to become the winningest game of all time deserves...
