Players’ Choice – Marvel Rivals voted December 2024’s top new game

Your votes have spoken: Marvel Rivals (super) hero team-based shooter takes Players’ Choice for December. Congrats to NetEase Games!

What games have you been playing in 2025 so far? Share predictions on January’s winner in the comments below.

December wrapped up another fun year of gaming. What did you enjoy most about last month’s title lineup? 

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. After the polls close we will tally your votes, and announce the winner on our social channels and PlayStation.Blog. 

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? Note: re-released games don’t qualify, but remakes do. We define remakes as ambitious, larger-scale rebuilds such as Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Final Fantasy VII Remake.

How are nominees decided? The PlayStation Blog editorial team will gather a list of that month’s most noteworthy releases and use it to seed the poll.
