The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) has revealed the nominations for the 2023 DICE Awards, which features 22 nominations. The DICE Awards is one of the most prestigious gaming awards.
The winners are determined by Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences members and experts through a secure voting process. For this reason, the event is often referred to as gaming’s Oscars. And in early 2023, the organizers unveiled the agenda for the 26th DICE Awards.
These annual video game awards recognize the best games of the year as voted by AIAS members and the winners are selected at the event held in Las Vegas. This year’s event will be held on February 23, 2023.
