Just last month, the world of adventure gaming saw a surge of new titles making their debut. Among the noteworthy releases were games like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, MLB The Show 25, Hitman World of Assassination for the PS VR2, and Split Fiction. With such an exciting lineup, there was plenty to talk about when it came to fresh beginnings in gaming.
Curious about how you can get involved? Well, each month, the PlayStation Blog sets up a poll that invites you to vote for the standout new game for that period. Once the poll closes, the results are compiled, and the winning title is announced across their social media platforms and on PlayStation.Blog.
Wondering how to decide your vote? That’s all up to you! Think about which game you’d wholeheartedly recommend to a friend—your personal game of the month. It’s important to note that re-releases are not eligible, but remakes are. By remakes, we mean major, comprehensive rebuilds like Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Final Fantasy VII Remake, which bring something novel and expansive to the table.
As for how the nominees are chosen, it’s the PlayStation Blog editorial team that steps in to curate a list of the month’s most significant titles. This list then seeds the pool of choices for you to consider in the poll. It’s a collaborative effort to celebrate the creativity and innovation in gaming each month.
