Introducing GamingDNA Game of the Year 2026!
We're taking Game of the Month to the next level!Welcome to GamingDNA Game of the Year 2026 — a year-long competition celebrating the games our community has been playing and unlocking achievements in throughout 2026.
Two platforms. Two winners. One whole year of achievement hunting.We'll crown two winners:
Xbox Game of the Year 2026
Steam Game of the Year 2026
The race is already underway!
Unlike a traditional Game of the Year award decided at the end of the year, GamingDNA gives you a live snapshot of the current standings.The competition tracks achievements unlocked by GamingDNA members throughout the entire 2026 calendar year — 1 January to 31 December 2026.
That means you can see which games are currently on track to win, based on the achievements our community has unlocked so far this year.
Every achievement counts, every unlock contributes to the race, and the standings can change as members continue gaming throughout the year!
Who will take the crown?
Will a blockbuster dominate the leaderboards? Could an indie gem surprise everyone? Or will a game nobody expected rise through the rankings as our community unlocks more achievements?There's still plenty of time for the standings to change, and the current leader isn't guaranteed to finish on top!
Head over to the Game of the Year 2026 page to check out the current standings and see which games are leading the race on Xbox and Steam.
Keep playing, keep unlocking, and help your favourite games climb the rankings!
Who's your pick for GamingDNA Game of the Year 2026?
