Metaphor: ReFantazio earned Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, and Best RPG, while Balatro was recognized with Best Independent Game, Best Debut Indie Game, and Best Mobile Game. At the same time Faker won the best esports athlete award.

The evening also featured exciting new reveals, including a first look at CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher 4, Naughty Dog’s new project Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and the announcement of a long-awaited sequel to the 2006 classic Okami.
