It was Sports/Racing Game of the Year. The other candidates: F1 2022, Fifa 2022, Hot Wheels Unleashed and Riders Republic.
Not really a competition.
Well, those games must have been pretty rubbish.

No more than FH5. But ratings are always inflated, faked, tempered… and in the case of FH5, all the ratings are fake. Its only based on the number of copies sold.
Other games probably deserve way more the goty title, but those games didnt sell enough…, so. Again, half of the blame goes to customer for keep buying broken products.
hot wheels was pretty good tbh
but yeah its my game of the year aswell
Best thing to happen since Covid!
FH5 bugs won’t put you in ICU!
No shots needed except to Devs!
Named like some good games were!
25% rewards for 8x more chores!
Watch for FH “Bag O’ Glass” licensed by Mainway, so kiddies can play along too.
FH5- careful what you wish for

Next year not this will be a better indicator of racing games, when a host of other games under development for years now are released. Hoping to be included in that line up is Forza Motorsport!
No in the same class as any GOTY competitors, Its not even in the same class as last years. Its the same game, but worse than before with simple Ray Tracing on top.
it’s like oscar, they give their own their own awards, i mean frankly everything is bought and paid for, unless you live in some fantasy world, then again there is nothing of this genre so i guess it’s like Arnold who won Mr Olympia at some point simply because nobody else showed up, simply genius
ign still gives broken and copy/pasta games 8 or 9 out of 10, so there is that
“RayTracing” on top 
It’s “same” lame FH3 / FH4 with some small improvements and it runs on 30fps on the “NextGen Flagship Console”
NextGen is the “The Matrix Awakens” Experience created by small team but it beats FH5 easy.
It’s not an optimized Game its an Techdemo to showcase some of the new UnrealEngine 5 features but runs better… and stats are impressing
- The city is 4,138 km wide and 4.968 km long, slightly larger than the size of downtown Los Angeles
- The city surface is 15.79 km2
- The city perimeter is 14.519 km long
- There are 260 km of roads in the city
- There are 512 km of sidewalk in the city
- There are 1,248 intersections in the city
- There are 45,073 parked cars, of which 38,146 are drivable and destructible
- There are 17,000 simulated traffic vehicles on the road that are destructible
- 7,000 buildings
- 27,848 lamp posts on the street side only
- 12,422 sewer holes
- Almost 10 million unique and duplicated assets were created to make the city
- The entire world is lit by only the sun, sky and emissive materials on meshes.
- No light sources were placed for the tens of thousands of street lights and headlights.
- In night mode, nearly all lighting comes from the millions of emissive building windows
- 35,000 simulated MetaHuman pedestrians
No need for same City in FH5 but look at Guanajuato and FH5 struggles already with 5 NPC traffic cars
Last year AC Valhalla showed up for SeriesX as “Nextgen” its the old engine running at their limits with boring empty world. But was best Launch for an AC Title. Game is joke but there is nothing else for the SeriesX, Thats all! Same effect used FH5 this year… and Motorsport next year…
