Description The 44th Golden Joystick Awards (fan-voted, run by GamesRadar+/Future) take place in London on November 11, 2026. Ultimate Game of the Year (UGOTY) has its own shortlist, revealed October 26, and a separate public vote from October 26 to 30. GTA 6 releases November 19, after the UGOTY vote closes, and Fable has been delayed to 2027. Past winners: Baldur's Gate 3 (2023), Black Myth: Wukong (2024), Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (2025).
- This event resolves to the game officially announced as the UGOTY winner at the 2026 Golden Joystick Awards on or before December 31, 2026 23:59 UTC.
- 1. Specificity: Only the UGOTY award counts. Editions, remasters or platform versions of a listed game count as that game. Listed games not on the October 26 shortlist resolve NO. If the winner is not a named game, "Other" resolves YES.
- 2. Exclusion: Other categories, nominations, shortlist placement, unofficial leaks or rumours do not count. If an official Future/GamesRadar+ source publishes the winner before the ceremony, that counts as the announcement.
- 3. Source Hierarchy: GamesRadar+ (gamesradar.com/goldenjoystickawards) priority. Official Golden Joystick Awards/Future social channels secondary. Major gaming press (IGN, PC Gamer, Eurogamer) tertiary.
- 4. Timing: Ceremony is in London (Europe/London = GMT = UTC on Nov 11). Trading closes before the ceremony. If postponed, the official winner counts if announced by December 31, 2026 23:59 UTC; if no winner is announced by then, "Other" resolves YES.
- 5. Ties: If joint winners are announced, the game listed first by GamesRadar+ is used.
