On February 23, 2023, the prestigious professional D.I.C.E. Awards 2023 ceremony will be held in Las Vegas.

The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) has published a list of nominations in twenty-two categories. For example, God of War: Ragnarok is nominated in twelve categories, and Elden Ring in only seven.

At the D.I.C.E. Awards 2023 games are judged by a jury of video game developers, so the award is based on the professional opinion of experts, not on the subjective assessment of gamers and reviewers.
