Mon Nov 18 15:50:00 UTC 2024: **The Game Awards Expands Eligibility Criteria for 2023**
**Los Angeles, CA – November 17, 2023** – The Game Awards (TGA) has announced a significant change to its eligibility criteria for this year’s awards ceremony. For the first time, DLC, remakes, remasters, expansion packs, and seasonal content for live-service games will be eligible for all categories, including Game of the Year.
This update, confirmed on the TGA website FAQ, reflects a commitment to recognizing outstanding creative and technical achievements regardless of release format. While judging will consider the newness of the content and its price-value, titles like the *Silent Hill 2 Remake*, *Elden Ring’s* Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, and live-service games such as *Apex Legends* and *Destiny* are now in contention.
The decision follows a record-breaking 2023 ceremony which garnered approximately 118 million livestream views, a 15% increase over the previous year. Shortlists for the awards are expected to be announced on November 18th.
