The Game Awards 2023: all winners

Here are all category winners from this year’s event

It’s all been decided: The Game Awards 2023 are done and all ‘Keighleys’ have been given away to the winners that were deemed worthy of the shiny trophies. Baldur’s Gate 3, just like many people expected, is the night’s big winner with five award wins including the prestigious Game of the Year – and Xbox Series X|S owners can finally experience this epic title as well now, because the BG3 Xbox release is here!

Alan Wake 2 really fought back against the Baldur’s Gate 3 sweep everyone thought was on the way, grabbing more trophies than anyone would’ve thought. That, of course, left The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with only one victory – imagine telling anyone that at the halfway point this year.

If you’ve missed the show, then don’t worry: You can find all The Game Awards 2023 winners in our overview below.
