miHoYo's open world elemental adventure handily bested its competition to claim the Players Choice crown for September.
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.
Tony’s Hawks Pro Skater 1+2 or Genshin Impact. hard to choose.
To be entirely fair to both parties…Genshin Impact is the only new IP whereas Tony Hawk is a remake, a good one- but not new.
So I’ma go with Genshin, I’ve already sunk 40+ hours into it
Marvel’s Avengers
@fedaly no lol
Spelunky 2 gets my vote!
Hiiii
Let’s go spell brick
Thps all the way
Genshin Impact for me.
13 Sentinels of course
13 Sentinels Aegis Rim deserves it but I can’t argue with Tony Hawk or Spelunky 2 either. I just hope people don’t vote for Avengers on the name.
Why do some games have an asterisk next to them?
Bit ‘o behind-the-scenes talk: When I’m building the list out I put a * next to the titles I plan to include in the featured image (I created two of these this month since we saw the release of so many worthy games; if you look at the tweet we sent out for this you’ll see the alternate version). I just forgot to remove the asterisks before the poll got created — all fixed now!
I loved spell break it is a very fun game but also don’t forget genshin impact I had lots of fun playing both of them.
Subaru – I love Emily

Spell Break also isn’t a new game, maybe new to PS4 but its been out for years in Early Access.
oh look Sicarius_Inanis having another whine.
Ngl Genshin Impact blew my expectations out of the water!
saame
Love Spellbreak my favourite game so far been waiting for a long time and it did not disappoint thinking of going in competitively but you cant queue snipe on ps4 to pc
I gotta go wish Genshin Impact,its been the funnest game Ive played this month.
Mafia: Definitive Edition for me. One of the best narratives I’ve ever experienced in a game.
I agree Mafia won it for me. Was a great experience
I’ll have to say Genshin Impact for me. Really fun to play, looks amazing, and the cost of entry can’t be beat.
Marvel’s Avengers was originally going to be my vote but Genshin Impact really stole the show for me.
I wanted to vote for Marvel’s Avengers. But as broken as the game is, I just couldn’t do it.
As someone who beta-tested the game twice, it’s beautiful to see how many comments are for Genshin Impact. Mihoyo deserves something for this beauty
i’ve had an amazing experience with spellbreak on ps4 and on other platforms it runs just as well.
13 Sentinels no doubt.

Genshin impact
I’ve been waiting so long for this beautiful masterpiece
Genshin Impact, I support it fully!
Maybe i looked too excited, but im glad i get to finally play it, hopefully can play it on PS5 aswell, excited for future updates on Genshin Impact aswell, maybe free ps plus packs here and there, having a very fun time with the views too, nice music and perfect visuals and combat + the ability to mix elements is fun. 😷
13 sentinels uwu
Is this really debatable? Genshin Impact all the way ♥
Tah bonito
Weebs unite genshin gamers
Yeah im voting genshing impact cuz ye
Genshin Impact will win based off its free-to-play nature and current popularity in the otaku community!
Genshin Impact all the way.
Genshin Impact 10|10
I loved THPS but Genshin just blew me away and I can’t stop playing.
anime plus adventure = genshin impact
Genshin all the way dude, the art style, gameplay, storyline and overall the character and world design is so neat. Props to Mihoyo
Game fun. Free Game. Would Keep Playing.
hope Genshin wins
Best action RPG , Nice characters and big world .
A game that I loved from the beginning, starting with its open world and graphics, the game mechanics are very good and in general I highly recommend it. I haven’t found a good rpg for years and here they bring this beauty called genshin impact. Congratulations on your video game.
My UID in case anyone wants to add me and do some dungeons: 602170409
nice game
Genshin Impact, been on the game for 2 days and I’m already addicted lol
Genshin impact
A free game that is well made and acceptable storyline despite of being free the visuals graphics are stunning <3 and it is a open world your exploration map is your limit from high ground to secret dungeons
Genshin Impact all the way!!
Genshin is one of the only NEW games I’ve played recently that I’ve loved this much. And for a FREE game?? That’s insane. This game definitely blew the other games out of the water
Genshin Impact, I have been so absorbed I haven’t been doing my work :|
Crystal Dynamics Really dropped the ball on Marvel’s Avengers, unfortunately. Hopefully, in time they will come back strong and not fade into the shadows like Anthem -.-
Genshin impact
LMAO Genshin. That game is gonna tank in like 3 months top.
– combat is bland
– cringe characters’ interraction
– cringe character design
– graphic is just average anime style game so nothing to be proud of
– a mobile game that can’t run good in 2020 phone
– u need dupes to unlock the characters’ passives LOL what a **** show
3/10 at best, stopped playing at rank 18. It was good enough that I didn’t drop it on sight. A waste of time indeed
Бесплатная Зельда
Great Story Mode Hard Work from the devs put into this game overall really clean
the good game I play it on ps4 and the mobile and pc btw the Japanese Lisa is { HENTAI VOCE ACTING } Lmao
To 100% Genshin Impact.
I absolutely love Geshin Impact, It gets a vote from me.
