Vote Now to Have Your Say in Eurogamer Readers' Top 50 Games of 2025

Well hello there, gamers! I hope everyone's enjoying a fantastic start to December. And what does early December mean? That's right, it's time to flex those voting muscles! The polls are officially open for the annual Eurogamer readers' Top 50 Games of the Year. This year, we're kicking things off a little earlier than usual, jumping the gun on last year's launch. Why? Simple: we need the extra time to wrangle all your opinions and insightful commentary into a digestible and, dare I say, engaging article. It's a monumental task, trust me.

Gamers in UPROAR! Your Vote Decides the Top 50 Gam...

So, if you're absolutely convinced that *Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour* deserves to wear the crown, now's the time to make your voice heard! Every vote counts, especially when we're talking about such a potentially polarizing title. I've played it myself, and let me tell you, it's… something. But I'll reserve my personal judgment for now. This is about your opinions, after all.

As per Eurogamer tradition, we're asking you to rank your top five games released this year. We also want to hear why you chose them. What made those particular titles stand out from the crowd? Was it the innovative gameplay, the breathtaking visuals, the compelling storyline, or perhaps just a sheer sense of nostalgic joy? Don’t hold back! We're genuinely interested in your thoughts.

Now, a little behind-the-scenes peek: We initially envisioned a sleek, user-friendly dropdown box containing every single game released in 2025. Imagine the convenience! Alas, technology, ever the fickle beast, had other plans. Technical gremlins (seriously, who names them that anymore?) forced us to revert to the slightly more… *analog* method of manually typing game names into the provided boxes. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Think of it as a small price to pay for contributing to gaming history!

If you're feeling particularly brave (and willing), feel free to share your Eurogamer username when you submit your vote. Your comments might just be featured in our final article, which is slated for publication on December 30th – the day before Eurogamer unveils its own official Game of the Year list. The suspense is killing me! Which list will be the most controversial? Which will have the most head-scratching choices in the top ten? Only time will tell. I personally have a few predictions, but I'm keeping them under wraps for now.

Make sure to submit your votes and commentary by the end of Sunday, December 14th. Your participation is truly appreciated, not only by myself but also by the dedicated team whose unenviable task it is to transform a chaotic Excel spreadsheet into a coherent and readable article. Bless their souls.

So, head on over to the provided form and cast your votes! (Unless, of course, you're still hopelessly addicted to *Metroid Prime 4: Beyond* and require a few more days to tear yourself away. In that case, I understand. Believe me, I understand.)

Thank you, as always, for your unwavering readership and for sticking with us throughout 2025 – even after I suggested that the Switch *Super Mario Galaxy* ports were reasonably priced. (Okay, maybe I deserved some of that flak.) Your passion and engagement make all the hard work worthwhile. Happy voting!
