The Game Awards have updated eligibility criteria to include expansion packs, downloadable content (DLC), remakes, and remasters for consideration in all categories — including Game of the Year.
"The Game Awards aims to recognise the best creative and technical work each year, irrespective of the format of that content's release," the event's FAQ page now reads. "Expansion packs, new game seasons, DLCs, remakes and remasters are eligible in all categories, if the jury deems the new creative and technical work to be worthy of a nomination."
Along with this rule change, the nominees for the 2024 show have been announced.
