End of Year GOTY Scramble + Our Most Anticipated 2026 Games | Party Select Podcast

Welcome to Party Select, where two dudes and a guy who’s their friend talk about the best thing there is: video games.

In this episode, we're trying to play as many games as we can before our 2025 Game of the Year deliberations begin later in December. The Outer Worlds 2 may come up again but Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 definitely will not. We also talk some random retro game bullsh*t before looking ahead to 2026 and calling out some of our most anticipated games. Some of them even have release dates!
