Players’ Choice: Genshin Impact voted September’s best new game

Congratulations, miHoYo! In a landslide victory, Genshin Impact claimed the Players’ Choice crown for September 2020. The runner-up battle was a bit closer, with Spellbreak and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 rounding out the top three.

Any predictions for October’s winner?

Welcome back! PS5 is just around the corner, but developers aren’t letting up on the PS4 front. September saw a glut of excellent new releases, including Marvel’s Avengers, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Spellbreak, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, and Spelunky 2. I know it’s a tough ask this month, but I must insist — please help us decide what the best new game of the month was!

Cast your vote below — we’ll close the poll down Sunday night at 11:59pm Pacific, then tally the votes and reveal the winner later in the week.

How does it work? At the end of every month, PlayStation.Blog will open a poll where you can vote for the best new game released that month. Soon thereafter, we’ll close the polls, tally your votes, and announce the winner at PlayStation.Blog. PlayStation Store will also showcase some top Players’ Choice winners throughout the year.

What is the voting criteria? That’s up to you! If you were only able to recommend one new release to a friend that month, which would it be? In keeping with our long tradition in the Game of the Year Awards, remastered or re-released games won’t qualify. Ambitious, larger-scale rebuilds and remakes like Shadow of the Colossus and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will.

How are nominees decided? The PlayStation.Blog and PlayStation Store editorial teams will gather a list of that month’s most noteworthy releases and use it to seed the poll. Write-in votes will be accepted.
