GOTY

Beginner 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

Most often,gamersuse GotY when discussing a video game that has been chosen as the Game of the Year by a gaming website, awards show, or magazine. The GotY is (at least theoretically) the best game released in a given year. However, gaming publications don't always agree on which of a year's games is the best, so multiple games released within the same year may receive the GotY title from different sources.
