Game Informer's Ninth Annual Glitchie Awards
Not all of our favorite video game moments in a given year are driven by well-acted cutscenes, amazing gameplay, or emergent sequences that convey the power of interactive entertainment. Sometimes we remember the glitches best – those beautiful messes where the algorithmic glue that normally holds these meticulously crafted games together betrays the artists' vision and gifts us with awkward, ridiculous, or downright creepy bloopers we can't wait to share with friends.
Every year, Game Informer keeps a list of our favorite moments like these for the annual Glitichie Awards. This year, we had a packed field thanks to the abundance of open world games like Fallout 76, Far Cry 5, and Red Dead Redemption II. We could have included dozens of glitches that make us smile this year, but we narrowed the field to the top 10. Without further ado, we present our favorite glitches of 2018.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
