Here is a list of all three winners of this prize at this year's PlayStation Partner Awards:

Genshin Impact
Resident Evil 4
Final Fantasy XVI

This is the third time the popular gacha game from HoYoverse has won this prize. It is worth noting that the officials also rewarded all the Travelers with 800 Primogems in 2021 and 2022 to celebrate the win. However, the developers have yet to announce anything as of this writing, so it is unclear whether they will give away the freebies this year.

Fans would be happy to know that Genshin Impact has been nominated for the Best Ongoing Game at The Game Awards 2023 as well. The results will be announced on December 7, 2023.
