It's that time of the year once again. Time for N4G to determine the year's winners. But, before we get to that, we first need to determine the nominees. Not only do you get to help determine who has a chance at winning, you also have a chance to win a $100 or $50 Amazon Gift Card during each part of the nomination process.
This is part 1 of 3 blog posts this week that will ask you, our N4G users, for your nominees in a variety of GotY categories. For each one of the categories, submit up to 3 nominees. Just reply with your nominees to the following categories and you will not only help to determine who is up for winning in each category but will also be entered for a chance to win a $100 or $50 Amazon Gift Card.
GOTY Nominee Categories - Part 1
1. Best New Video Game Character
2. Best Single Player Experience
3. Best Multiplayer Experience
4. Best DLC
5. Best Episodic Content
Some stories come in pieces, what piece was the best of them?
6. Best Handheld Game
Portable console or mobile game
Note: You don't have to have three nominees for each category nor nominees in each category, just put in what you can. Remember that the games or content had to be originally released in 2016. Rereleases on other platforms in 2016 do not count if it originally released in 2015 on one or more other platforms.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
