I would like to remind people though, that this is not a rule change to allow the DLC to be eligible for major awards this year.
DLCs have been eligible for several years now, withThe Witcher 3’sBlood and Winewinning Best RPG in 2016.
Debating whether it should win or not is, of course, expected but otherwise, it’s time to put the pitchforks away.

Well, did you know that with a bit of patience, you can actually nabBalatrofor free?
Astro Botnabbed the joint most nominations.
Balatrois one of the available redeemable titles onPlayStationStars, Sony’s rewards scheme for PlayStation users.

If you save up enough points, you can nab free rewards.
Previously, that included free store credit although that option is disappearing for many users. Sony is still yet to release a statement.
Alongside that though, you can also redeem free full-length games - andBalatrois one example.

Right now,Balatrocan be redeemed for 3,750 points.
It’s far from being the only game up for grabs, but it is the only GOTY nominee.
The thing is, Sony changes this line-up with no warning from time to time, so if you do have points sitting there, you may want to secureBalatrosooner rather than later.
If you do miss out, it’ll cost you £12.99 on the PlayStation Store.
