The Game Awards 2023 winners revealed

The Game Awards 2023 winners revealed across all categories, including the coveted Game of the Year prize.

[-Ghost]

Baldur's Gate 3 takes the crown for 2023. Congratulations to Larian Studios.

[-Foxtrot]

Well deserved, they even got Players’ Voice aswell. I'm super happy for them.

I think the majority of the ones this year I agree with, only a couple I didn't.

[RaidenBlack]

The game reveals were amazing as well,
Exodus, Blade, First Berserker: Khazan, No Rest for the Wicked and Sega announcements were my highlights
also awesome was getting release dates for Wukong, Rise of Ronin, Hellblade II and Space Marine II
+ GoW free DLC and The Finals shadow drop = perfection

[darthv72]

And its now available on xbox store.

[maniacmayhem]

Yup, another great announcement for Xbox.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Don't say anything nice about Xbox around here, lol. When will you learn? 😆

(I'm buying a Series S after Christmas, BTW. Just pointing out facts, lol)

[Markdn]

The fact that piece of rubbish forza won anything shows you how deluded the media is, and how much they believe Microshaft own publicity

[Chris12]

I'm not sure it's the media that's deluded.

[Plague-Doctor27]

The categories it won weren't super competitive and Forza at least excelled in its nominated areas

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Honestly, they deserved to take the award, I'd be a let down if anyone else took it.

[Bebedora]

Mankind cry
Turn arond in it's grave and cries again

[frostypants]

It still has some glitch issues, the inventory management is awful, and the romance system is almost self-parody sometimes...but the game is just SO good in spite of those things. One of the few games I've played in the last few years that only gets better as I go along (Act 3 is just wild). Reminds me of Witcher 3 in that respect.

[sparky77]

Wow not a single Playstation game got an award.

Xbox killed it with 3 not surprising though this year belongs to Xbox, Nintendo and BG3.

[stonecold3]

tchia ff 16 last of us won awards

[PrinceOfAnger]

He is talking about games
Forza won 2 awards
Hi fi rush one award

Last of us got award a tv show?

tchia ff 16 " not sony games?

[RedDevils]

So what platform can you play FF16 again? Say it loud.

[andy85]

Is FF16 not a PS game now? 😂

[Haki1112]

it's square enix game sir Congrats on your TV Show award lmfaooo

[andy85]

He said no Playstation game got an award. It's a playstation game. It's coming to PC eventually. If you're using that logic, then his "Xbox killed it with 3 awards" doesn't count either because they're on PC.

[Asplundh]

Nope, the only thing binding the game to PS5 is timed exclusivety. It's Squares decision to release it on PC, they may also decide to release it on Xbox if they think it's financialy worth it.

[Petebloodyonion]

Honestly? Does it matter if Sony or Xbox games won awards?
Like does it change the quality of Spiderman 2?
I'm just finishing the remake of Dead Space and it got nominated for nothing so the game must suck right?

[Crows90]

Not it doesnt change anything but Sparky is making it seem like xbox took some kind of crown when we all know that they didnt. Spiderman 2 has a ridiculous amount of nominations and sony only released 1 major 1st party title.

Throughout all the nominations xbox 1st party was barely even a contender.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I didn't even take it into account, I was more excited to see who took what award.

[gold_drake]

actually two ps games got an award and last of us tv show.

[Crows90]

Xbox has never had any game nominated for gotyr....not sure they killed anything.

And whats with praising xbox for minor awards? Guess thats all they could do with such huge heavy hitters huh. Let me help you since you couldnt read

This year belongs to:
Game of the Year

Alan Wake 2
Baldur’s Gate 3
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Resident Evil 4
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Id add a few more but none of them are from xbox 1st party. Where is xbox in that list?

[Chevalier]

Wow. Again for the 10th straight year NOT a single Xbox 1st party game nominated for GOTY. Just absolutely embarrassing.!

[outsider1624]

Well playstation has been winning a lot the last 10 years. Time to give it a rest. What did xbox win in the last 10 years...i repeat10 freaking years...

[ChasterMies]

“this year belongs to Xbox, Nintendo and BG3.”

Sales say otherwise.

[TheColbertinator]

Awesome sweep for BG3

[Snookies12]

Absolutely no surprise that Baldur's Gate 3 won, haha. Kind of sad Ben Starr didn't get the voice acting award though for his performance in FF XVI. Though, considering I haven't played Baldur's Gate 3 yet. I can't exactly compare. I just know he killed it with his performance as Clive.

[Plague-Doctor27]

Astarion's VA really does do a great job in the game. There are a few characters I like the performance of more (Raphael for example) but they are more minor. The whole cast is strong and of the main characters he really probably is the best and most memorable performance

I did want to see Ben Starr win as well but it was a competitive year and I can see why they went with Neil

[Ezio2048]

Congratulations BG3 for the sweep with 6 wins

Also, so happy for AW2 for winning second highest awards for 3 wins including Best Direction.

[Crows90]

That makes me really excited when I get around to that game. His responses when up on the mic were the best.

[LOGICWINS]

Happy that a turn-based game won GOTY. I never thought I'd see that happen in my lifetime. Please support this genre people.

[andy85]

Wasn't any other choice really. thought TOTK may have a shot because of Nintendo points but it was essentially BOTW DLC with a bit more innovation. BG3 is game of the 2020s, nevermind year. This is what RPG studios should aspire to be. Got my platinum trophy yesterday 🥳

[recoctimocassirnff]

I was very worried totk might have won it exactly bc of "nintendo points", so I'm very glad to see the deserved game won it.

[maniacmayhem]

I have to say, the announcements from this show was spectacular. A lot of very surprising games to get excited about were shown off.

This was basically the excellence E3 once had.

[Christopher]

Last year and this year's TGA were better than other showcases, IMHO. Please don't tell Geoff I ever said anything positive about him or his show.

[Plague-Doctor27]

As an announcement show the TGA is really starting to make some strides. Still an issue with pacing, the middle was a lot of mobile games and things I dont even remember.

As an award show this was their worst showing. Giving Kojima 10 minutes to show off nothing more than a 30 second trailer or Gonzo 5 minutes to show off a poster of chickens while giving Sam Lake 30 seconds to accept an award is pretty terrible. Bad overreaction to Christopher Judge

[Christopher]

The weirdest thing is the quick talking to announce certain categories as fast as possible and only truly highlighting 3 or 4 awards on stage. We could have done w/o Gonzo, the music performances, and the like to get a few more people able to say anything on stage at all about their achievement.

[CrimsonWing69]

BG3, baby! So glad it won. Really well deserved.

On another note, what a great TGA showing this year. Ol’ Doritos Pope is starting to get to E3 levels of exciting announcements and theatrics.

Here’s to 2024, boys!

[gold_drake]

BG3 sweepin the competition, deserved

but damn, it was so awkward when the fallout cast came out, they shpwed Toddy boy, and then gave the award to The Last of us tv show haha.

also
"you delicious man" hahaha xDD
i mean, hes not not handsome ha

[GhostScholar]

Like it or not this show was a low key huge win for Xbox. Metaphor, OD, persona 3 reloaded, the love hi fi rush got, the hellblade II trailer and music, etc

[XBManiac]

WRC is a winner for next year... Isn't it? Will we have a new Assetto or any other drivin game to compete?

[anast]

BG3 cleaned up, Starfield took a spot from a game that deserved to be acknowledged, and good on Forza for their commitment to accessibility.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Still sad that Anonymous;Code or Grisaia: Chronos Rebellion didn't win GOTY.

[Einhander1972]

I guess I am not surprised. But the thing I noticed is that many of the biggest gaming sites that have their "here is all the trailers from TGA" articles don't have the trailers for the games that are on PlayStation but not xbox.

I wonder how it is that so many different sites could all be missing the same trailers...

[Bebedora]

If it's as good as the marble machine I concur. or it's utter madness.

Not everyone need to be a socialist, just being good at what they do. And use it to express. ...some mediate sense of judgment would be ok.

[Bebedora]

LGBTQAI++ gates are not

[Good-Smurf]

Can't believe Forza won best sports/racing game.
They gave an equivalent of early access racing game the best of title.
Ridiculous.

[PRIMORDUS]

Just want to say N4G should change the name to runtimeerror.com. In all the years I been on here even before having an account, N4G has been the most unstable website I have ever visited. This site needs serious work. 🤬
