The Game Awards 2021: All this year’s winners

The Game Awards have pretty much established themselves as the premier awards show for the gaming industry, and like every year, Geoff Keighley has managed to put on quite a show. The show featured fantastic new world premieres as well as updates to previously announced titles and, most importantly, awards.

The Game Awards celebrated a fantastic year in the gaming industry, with many smaller studios competing against the big AAA titles for Game of the Year. Josef Fares and Hazelight Studios’ It Takes Two clearly stood out among the Game of the Year nominees, as it was the only collaboration in this category. Here is a list of all the winners of this year’s The Game Awards.
