What you need to know

  • The Last of Us Part 2 took home the big prize at the end of the night, along with other awards included Best Direction and Narrative.
  • Among Us was another big winner, taking home two prizes and beating out big names like Call of Duty.

The Game Awards 2020 couldn't have come at a weirder time, thanks to it also being Cyberpunk 2077 release day, but it somehow was able to make us forget about the CD Projekt Red juggernaut for just a moment and help us remember what even came out in 2020.

Some of the nominees were divisive and despite some snubs — Windows Central Best Xbox Game winner Ori and the Will of the Wisps missing in key categories, for example — the winners were overall standard. The Last of Us Part 2 took home seven wins, including Game of the Year. Another big winner, although not in the way you expect, was Among Us. The tiny 2018 mobile game became a surprise hit this year and took home two prizes: Best Mobile Game and Best Multiplayer.

Other standouts were Ghost of Tsushima, which won the coveted Player's Voice award, and Hades, which won the Best Indie. Check out the full list of winners below.
