The Game Awards Winners And Game Of The Year

The Game Awards has finally wrapped up, celebrating the past year in the games industry and looking ahead to the year to come. There were plenty of trailers, and everyone was looking forward to learning which games the jury selected as winners for the 30 different award categories. Of course, the biggest prize was Game of the Year, and some terrific games competed for it. These included a family-friendly game, ultra-violent action games, and the latest game from a beloved indie studio.

The nominees for that were Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Doom Eternal, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Ghost of Tsushima, Hades, and The Last of Us Part 2. It was ultimately The Last of Us Part 2 that took home the top prize.

Other notable categories included Best Game Direction (it also went to The Last of Us Part 2) Games for Impact, and Innovation in Accessibility. This year's event was being held in a socially distanced manner due to COVID-19, with presenters and nominees appearing remotely. You can find all the nominees below, with announced winners appearing in bold. They are primarily shown in reverse-order, with the last announcements of the night at the top of our list. Along with the games, esports players, teams, and coaches were also competing.
