All the awards have been given out; and as you can see, Red Dead Redemption 2 took a number of them, but there was also a nod or two to the indies, including Celeste and The Messenger. And, of course, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins scored big on the social front, and a few other esports awards were given as well.
You can catch the full list of winners below and see which of your favorites took home trophies. We’re just glad to see favorites like Dead Cells, Forza Horizon 4 and others got their due with no trouble!
And kudos to God of War, winning the big awards of the night — best direction and Game of the Year!
