The third annual SXSW Gaming Awards are going down March 19 and the finalists in each category, including Game of the Year have been announced.
While SXSW pick the finalists themselves, you can help sway which game will take home the trophy. The SXSW Gaming Awards features a voting ballot for both public consumption and for those within the industry which means you can make your voice heard (and you should, hit the link and vote now).
The winners will be announced during the SXSW Gaming Awards ceremony, 8pm Saturday March 19 at the Hilton Austin Downtown, so if you’re in town head along. The show will be hosted by YouTuber Sean “Jacksepticeye” McLoughlin and Twitch streamer/eSports host Rachel “Seltzer”Quirico.
