This past week, we've been learning small tid-bits about who won that coveted trophy at the Golden Joystick Awards this year, including how Fortnite beat out Red Dead Redemption 2 for the 'Ultimate Game of the Year' award. A huge surprise to be sure, but we still didn't know the final tally of winners. At least until now.

The biggest highlight was FromSoftware's Hidetake Miyazaki winning the Lifetime Achievement Award. Miyazaki mentioned in a recent press statement, "To receive such a prestigious award from the Golden Joysticks fills me with great surprise and a sense of great honour. I am tremendously grateful to everyone who has played, enjoyed and appreciated our games. Rather than myself, this award goes to the many people who have built these games with me, and shared their passion with me over the years."
