For weeks, it seemed like a challenging goal, but it has finally been confirmed: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is now the video game with the most Game of the Year awards in history. An absolute milestone that puts Sandfall Interactive’s work at the top of the international scene.

Just a few months ago, the French title held the third position in the historical ranking of accumulated GOTY awards. But now, the count has been recently updated, and the result is clear: not only has it continued to accumulate recognition, but some previous figures from other titles have also been adjusted, which has ultimately consolidated its leadership.

The data is compelling and reflects the real impact the game has had on specialized media, international juries, and critics’ associations around the world.

The historical ranking of games with the most GOTY awards

According to the updated classification, this is the Top 10 historical list of video games with the most Game of the Year awards:

• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – 436 awards

• Elden Ring – 429 awards

• The Last of Us Part II – 326 awards

• Baldur’s Gate 3 – 288 awards

• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – 281 awards

• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 264 awards

• God of War (2018) – 263 awards

• The Last of Us – 257 awards

• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – 229 awards

• Astro Bot – 196 awards

The margin is narrow, but sufficient to confirm the record. Additionally, there are still some minor awards pending counting, so the final figure could even increase in the coming weeks.

For a relatively young studio like Sandfall Interactive, this achievement is not only symbolic: it consolidates Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as one of the great references of modern RPGs and as a title that is already part of the history of the medium.
