So there we have it! The game industry’s would be night of nights – The Game Awards has returned once again. Celebrating some of this year’s most incredible games, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 walked away with an impressive nine awards. Australia’s own Hollow Knight: Silksong also managed to snag Best Action/Adventure. Between the awards, Geoff Keighley was also very eager to reveal a slew of new games, including Larian Studio’s next big one – Divinity, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, and not one but two new Tomb Raider games!
Here are the winners of The Game Awards 2025:
Much like the actual ceremony, this is every winner in rapid succession, no breaks, no game reveals, no pauses, loading screens or even Hideo Kojima fan service. Not even a Muppet.
