Clair Obscur Becomes GOTY Favourite After GTA VI Delay
In a major shake-up to the Game of the Year race, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has moved into 10/11 favourite status at The Game Awards 2025, following the official delay of GTA VI until May 2026.
Rockstar’s much-anticipated title had been a heavy early market leader, but the shift to next year has blown the field wide open, with a mix of ambitious new IPs and returning fan-favourites now fighting for the crown.
Paddy Power's latest betting market gives an implied probability of 52.4% that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 wins the 2025 Game of the Year award.
This dramatic odds shift has left a dynamic field of challengers, with Death Stranding 2 and Split Fiction gaining momentum heading into the summer.
| The Game Awards 2025 - Game of the Year | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | 10/11 | 52.4% |
| Death Stranding 2: On The Beach | 10/3 | 23.1% |
| Split Fiction | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Ghost of Yotei | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Blue Prince | 15/2 | 11.8% |
