Geoff Keighley took to X to clarify his non-involvement in the voting process, stating, "As a reminder the games nominated at #TheGameAwards are selected by a global jury of over 120 media outlets," highlighting his role as merely an announcer of the nominees.

Amid industry-wide discussions, there have been appeals for Keighley to address the numerous studio layoffs and closures. Despite an exceptional year for game releases, major companies such as Sony and Microsoft have let go of staff, affecting teams from Destiny 2 developer Bungie to Season: A Letter to the Future creator Scavengers Studios.

The event is scheduled for December 7, and will be live-streamed across platforms like Twitch and YouTube. Check out the complete list of nominees for the 2023 Game Awards:
