YOUR GAMES 2025. People's Choice Awards

The year 2025 in the video game industry was generous with events: from high-profile releases to equally high-profile failures.

It was a fair fight: in some categories, the leaders changed literally in the last hours of voting. It's time to lift the veil and name those who truly defined this gaming year.
