About This Event
The Game Awards are presented annually to honor achievements in the video game industry. The 2026 Game Awards are currently scheduled to be presented on December 10, 2026. This market will resolve according to the listed video game that wins the 2026 Game Award for Best Multiplayer. If a game is not officially nominated for the 2026 Game Award for Best Multiplayer when the 2026 nominees are announced, the corresponding market will immediately resolve to "No". In case of a tie for the winner, this market will resolve in favor of the nominated game whose listed title comes first in alphabetical order. If, for any reason, no winner is declared by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from The Game Awards, including data from their website (e.g., https://thegameawards.com/) and the live broadcast of the award ceremony; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
This analysis is awaiting a background update, so its prices may be older than the odds above.

What the contract measures
The Polymarket event "The Game Awards: Best Multiplayer" contains separate yes or no contracts, one for each listed game. The event rules say the market "will resolve according to the listed video game that wins the 2026 Game Award for Best Multiplayer" [1]. A game that is not officially nominated when the nominees are announced resolves to "No" [1]. A tie resolves in favor of the nominated game whose listed title comes first alphabetically [1]. If no winner is declared by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market resolves to "Other" [1].
The contracts also differ in listed close times. The Deadlock and Subnautica 2 contracts list an end date of 2026-12-10T23:59:00.000Z. The other contracts shown list 2027-01-01T04:59:00.000Z [1]. The source states that the 2026 Game Awards are "currently scheduled to be presented on December 10, 2026" [1]. That is a scheduled date from the rules, not a confirmation of the ceremony outcome. Readers should compare the listed close time for each contract before comparing prices.
Reading the snapshot
The provider observation time is 2026-10-20T03:00:06Z. The source was retrieved at 2026-10-20T03:28:31Z [1]. These prices describe that observation only and may not match current quotes.
Within the included sample, the highest Yes price is Deadlock at 0.219, followed by Marathon at 0.11 and Gears of War: E-Day at 0.08 [1]. Lower-priced included contracts range from 0.0335 to 0.0515 [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities, and the source does not provide trade volume, liquidity, or trader counts.
The sample is partial. The event has 21 markets, and 12 are included [1]. The sample ranks contracts by Yes price, so omitted contracts are not known to have lower prices. Do not treat this list as the full nominee field or compare these rankings with other events or providers.
What remains uncertain
The source does not explain why any price changed. It also does not confirm the full nominee list beyond the included contracts, and it does not report the final winner. The contracts with different end dates may not be directly comparable on timing. Price differences between contracts, or between platforms, do not by themselves show an arbitrage opportunity because the rules, close times, and sample coverage may differ.

Saved Oct 20, 2026 UTCOverview
The Game Awards: Best Multiplayer is a Polymarket event tied to the award for best multiplayer game at the 2026 Game Awards. Each contract asks whether one listed video game will win that category. The event description states that the 2026 Game Awards are currently scheduled to be presented on December 10, 2026 [1]. This is the scheduled ceremony date in the provider's description, not a confirmed broadcast schedule or an announcement from the awards organizer. The contract resolves according to the listed game that wins the 2026 Best Multiplayer award [1]. A game that is not officially nominated for the category when the 2026 nominees are announced causes its corresponding market to resolve to No [1]. If there is a tie, the provider says the market resolves in favor of the nominated game whose title comes first alphabetically [1]. If no winner is declared by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET, the event resolves to Other [1]. The provider names official information from The Game Awards as the primary resolution source, including its website and the live broadcast of the ceremony, while noting that a consensus of credible reporting may also be used [1]. The market data in this article is a snapshot observed at 2026-10-20T03:00:06Z from provider event 800696 [1]. The event contains 21 markets, and this sample includes 12 of them, selected by highest Yes price first [1]. Because the sample is partial, the omitted markets should not be read as having lower prices, and the rankings should not be treated as a complete field. At the observed time, the included Yes prices ranged from 0.219 for the Deadlock contract down to 0.0335 for the Halo: Campaign Evolved and Reanimal contracts. Listed end dates differ between contracts: some show December 10, 2026 at 23:59 UTC, while others show January 1, 2027 at 04:59 UTC [1]. These prices are not executable quotes, and differences between contracts do not by themselves indicate an opportunity. The event does not include background information about the awards' history or the organizers, and the retrieved sources do not describe past winners of this category.
Why It Matters
The contract measures a single outcome: which listed video game wins the 2026 Best Multiplayer award at The Game Awards [1]. Its rules define how nominations, ties, and the absence of a winner are handled, which matters because a contract can resolve to No if a game is not nominated when the nominees are announced [1]. The resolution language gives official ceremony information priority, with credible reporting as a secondary basis [1]. Readers should therefore check the contract's own rules and the timing of the ceremony and deadline before interpreting the snapshot prices.
