New York Game Awards 2022 goes virtual, releases list of nominees

The New York Video Game Critics Circle announced today that the New York Game Awards will be virtual only this year. The show will go on on February 1, as planned, but it will no longer be an in-person event.

The NYVGCC previously stated it was going to be holding the Game Awards at the SVA Theatre in Manhattan. However, the pandemic has not yet abated — the event was also virtual in 2021. Most recently, the Entertainment Software Association revealed it was not holding E3 in person in 2o22, also citing health concerns.
