Against all odds, The Game Awards went off without a hitch, and that means a lot of folks now have shiny new trophies to hold on to. Who walked away with the silver winged statues? In case you missed the show, here’s a full recap of all of the winners.
The Last of Us Part II wound up being the game of the show, capturing the coveted Game of the Year trophy and beating out worthy contenders in Hades, Ghost of Tsushima, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Doom Eternal, and Final Fantasy VII Remake. Naughty Dog’s acclaimed (and controversial) sequel cleaned up big, scooping up Best Game Direction, Best Action/Adventure, Best Narrative, and the Innovation in Accessibility award. Voice actress Laura Bailey also won Best Performance for her portrayal of Abby.
That doesn’t mean other titles didn’t earn some shine. Hades picked up Best Indie Game while Among Us (complete with teary-eyed developers) snagged Best Multiplayer and Best Mobile Game. Best Role-Playing and Best Score and Music went to Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Ghost of Tsushima walked away with Best Art Direction. No Man’s Sky’s Best Ongoing Games win might have been the upset of the show, beating out heavyweights like Fortnite and Apex Legends.
