BREAKING: Popular streamer Shroud is calling on gamers to rally behind Arc Raiders as the top contender for Game of the Year at the upcoming Game Awards 2025. Just days after its full release on October 30, 2025, Shroud has made it clear: he wants fans to ensure that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 does not steal the spotlight.
In a recent live stream, Shroud passionately urged his audience, “We’ve got to make sure this game wins Game of the Year. Do not let that Expedition game win. Absolutely do not.” With his charismatic appeal, he emphasized the need for gamers to unite, stating, “Us multiplayer gamers are the minority, but I believe we can win.” His dedication is evident, as he declared, “I’ve never voted for anything ever, but I think I’m going to vote this year for this game.”
Since its launch, Shroud has streamed over 71 hours of Arc Raiders, showcasing his enthusiasm for this title. His endorsement comes amid a competitive gaming landscape, as 2025 features a range of strong candidates for the award, including Hades 2, Death Stranding 2, and the highly anticipated Split Fiction.
Despite the stiff competition, Shroud remains confident in Arc Raiders, asserting, “It’s probably going to win Game of the Year. I’m addicted. I genuinely think this is going to be the best game this year.” His remarks are not just fanfare; they resonate with gamers eager for a compelling multiplayer experience.
However, Shroud is not oblivious to the competition. He acknowledged the presence of other strong contenders, specifically highlighting Expedition 33 as a potential rival. Yet, he quickly added a note of skepticism regarding the legitimacy of award shows, stating, “When have you ever seen an award that’s actually legit?” His previous comments about Black Myth: Wukong not winning last year’s GOTY, claiming the awards were “rigged,” add a layer of controversy to his current push.
As the clock ticks toward the awards ceremony, fans are urged to participate in the voting process to support their favorite game. Shroud’s call to action has sparked a wave of excitement among his followers, with many echoing his sentiment on social media.
The stakes are high as the gaming community rallies behind their choices, making the lead-up to the Game Awards 2025 an event filled with anticipation and fervor. With Shroud at the forefront of this campaign, the battle for Game of the Year is heating up, and fans are encouraged to make their voices heard. Stay tuned for the latest updates and developments as the countdown to the awards continues.
