All of The Game Awards 2022 Winners

Whether you missed the show because of time zones or something else entirely, we’ve got the full list of all of The Game Awards 2022 nominees and winners for each category.

The Game Awards, hosted and created by presenter Geoff Keighley, is an award show that looks to highlight the brilliant games that came out in the present year, as well as the developers who make them.

The show is also usually packed full of advertisements, game announcements, and the odd celebrity or two such as past year’s Keanu Reeves, or this year’s Jessica Henwick, Pedro Pascal and Daniel Craig. All in all, it’s promoted almost like the video game version of the Oscars. Whether it lives up to that prestige is in the eye of the beholder.
