The Game Awards 2020 is now in the books, and the award winners have been selected. While this year’s broadcast seemed to prioritize next year’s game announcements over the awards themselves, there was still plenty to celebrate from this past year. Some of the award winners won’t prove all that surprising, but there were a few upsets strewn throughout. Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II took home the Game of the Year award, but there were plenty of other categories, and a number of terrific games took home prizes. Without further ado, here are this year’s nominees and each category’s respective winners:
