Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 dethrones Elden Ring for the most GOTY wins ever

2025 was a strong year for video games and yet despite this, one title seemed to suck all the oxygen out of the air when it came to the awards season – with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 taking home hundreds of Game of the Year awards. With a majority of award shows having now come and gone, Expedition 33 has officially broken the record for the greatest number of GOTY wins; currently sitting at 436.

As collated by ResetEra user Angie, with a total of 436 Game of the Year awards Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has officially dethroned FromSoftware’s Elden Ring (429 wins) as the title with the single highest number of GOTYs.

While certainly an impressive achievement, it is worth noting that each year has seen new publications popping up and offering GOTY awards – meaning it is becoming increasingly easier to break the record.

For context, so far there have been over 620 GOTYs given away for 2025 compared to 529 in 2024 and 537 in 2023; and so comparisons between the years isn’t quite an apples-to-apples situation. Still, there is no denying that Clair Obscur is the definitive Game of the Year for 2025.

The top 5 most awarded titles of all time is as follows:

1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – 436 wins
2. Elden Ring – 429 wins
3. The Last of Us Part II – 326 wins
4. Baldur’s Gate III – 288 wins
5. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – 281 wins
