The 42nd<\/sup> annual Golden Joystick Awards are over, the winners have been announced, and Black Myth: Wukong has walked away with the big Ultimate Game of the Year award. Helldivers 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth did very well for themselves this year too, claiming four awards each, and Rockstar used its one win\u2014for Most Wanted Game, naturally\u2014to tease “absolutely mind-blowing things” coming in Grand Theft Auto 6<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“There’s an incredible amount of people doing amazing things on Grand Theft Auto 6, absolutely mind-blowing things,” Rockstar’s David Manley said while accepting the award (via GamesRadar<\/u><\/a>). “So it’s an honor to be able to come up here and accept this award on everyone’s behalf. I wish more of us could be here. Thank you very much everybody, and yeah, more to come.”<\/p>\n

What he didn’t say, unfortunately, is when GTA 6 is coming to PC. Technically, we’re not even sure yet whether <\/em>it’s coming to PC, although history tells us it will. But history also tells us it won’t be in fall 2025<\/u><\/a>, when the game is currently slated to arrive on consoles. (Although that’s not necessarily carved in stone<\/u><\/a> either.)<\/p>\n

That Grand Theft Auto 6 claimed the gold for Most Wanted Game isn’t really a surprise; less obvious, but also very cool, was the selection of Satisfactory<\/u><\/a> as PC Game of the Year, beating out Animal Well, Balatro, Frostpunk 2, Tactical Breach Wizards, and UFO 50.<\/p>\n

The Satisfactory dev team shared some (un)prepared comments about the win on X<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Rockstar wasn’t the only one to tease new things at the Golden Joysticks: Feng Ji, CEO of Black Myth: Wukong developer Game Science, did the same in his Ultimate Game of the Year acceptance speech. “If you haven’t played Black Myth: Wukong yet, you are in luck,” Ji said in pre-recorded comments. “Now you have one more reason to give it a try!<\/p>\n

“Of course, you might have already completed our game. That’s perfectly fine too. Keep following us, and there might just be some surprises waiting for you later this year.”<\/p>\n
