All of The Game Awards 2021 Winners
The Game Awards 2021 have come and gone, revealing a sleuth of brand new games, updates on games we’ve already heard about and so much more. But who were The Game Awards 2021 winners?
The announcement of the nominees that would be taking part in The Game Awards 2021 was, as always when you’re desperately hoping the game you love the most ends up being winners, controversial to say the least. Some felt that perhaps Cyberpunk 2077 shouldn’t be included in Best RPG, others felt that the indie game category was absolute naff… And then there’s the fact that Activision is part of the advisory board behind the awards in the first place…
All in all. There’s a lot that’s happening behind the scenes of The Game Awards, but that shouldn’t take away from the hard-working developers whose games have earned an award.
The full list of winners can be found below, and will be updated as more and more winners are announced.
