The winners of the 16th annual BAFTA Games Awards have been announced. Given the number of video game awards shows this year, the nominees shouldn't come as too big of a surprise, at this point. Naturally, The Outer Wilds, Control, Death Stranding, Luigi's Mansion 3 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice were all nominated for a number of different awards, alongside several other critically acclaimed games released last year. Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, the festivities were held from host Dara Ó Briain's home, but what matters most were the evening's winners. The awards featured a number of notable upsets, and some surprising awards for some lesser-known titles.

In addition to the various game categories, a handful of awards were given out to various figures in the video game industry:

  • BAFTA Fellowship: Hideo Kojima
  • Best Performer in a Supporting Role: Martti Suosalo (Control)
  • Best Performer in a Leading Role: Gonzalo Martin (Life is Strange 2)
