With nearly 1.5 million votes cast across 19 categories this year, the winners of the PlayStation Blog Game of the Year awards for 2025 have been announced. As a reminder, the PlayStation Blog Game of the Year awards are based on voting only, so the winners you see are chosen by the general public. Considering this is centered around PlayStation, it’s no surprise that Ghost of Yōtei took home several Platinum trophies this year. I definitely agree with Best Graphical Showcase because, as I said in my review, Ghost of Yōtei is a visually jaw-dropping adventure.
