‘Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Brings Home Big Wins From Across The Globe

Since the Guardians took us to the stars in October, we’ve seen the outpouring of love from players everywhere. From Best Narrative to Best Soundtrack to Game of the Year, it’s been made clear that you love Eidos-Montreal’s take on this popular team. In total, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy was given 113 total nominations, with 29 single award wins and 67 wins overall.

So many awards call for celebration, and what better way to celebrate than with Cosmo the Space Dog’s biggest fan, Milo, the adorable Labrador Retriever!

With Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy being available on PC Game Pass, Xbox is teaming up with Milo to raise money for SPCA International (SPCAI). This organization works in over 70 countries providing food, care, life-saving treatment, and transportation for animals in need. Learn more about SPCAI here.
