There’s a chance that, over the last few weeks, you were too busy stuffing your face with delicious holiday food to notice our massive Game of the Year campaign. Don’t worry, we’re not judging anyone!
An annual tradition here at Push Square, we write up a whole slate of articles to celebrate the year that was, highlighting the very best PlayStation games in the process.
And just in case you missed out — or even if you just want to peruse a handy recap — we’ve put together this feature, which covers our Game of the Year content in its entirety.
From our official top 10 PS5 games of 2025, to individual awards, to lists based purely on reader votes, we like to think that we’ve given the last year the attention that it so thoroughly deserves.
So, without further ado, let’s take a look at our Game of the Year winners…
