Today, on December 7th (8th for me) 2023, the tenth edition of the Game Awards was hosted by Geoff Keighley. The nominees were selected by a jury panel comprising members from over 100 global media outlets. Specialized juries determined the nominees for categories such as accessibility, adaptation, and esports. Winners were decided through a combination of jury votes (90 percent) and public voting (10 percent).
From the eight categories in which Final Fantasy games were originally nominated, the franchise emerged victorious in the following:
- Best Score and Music: Final Fantasy XVI Composer Masayoshi Soken
