It’s time for the Game Awards, when the video game industry looks back on 2024’s best games and debuts trailers for upcoming projects for 2025 and beyond. The annual awards show and video game trailer extravaganza hosted by Geoff Keighley celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.

The Game Awards just wrapped, and among all the announcements – including the Witcher 4 with Ciri as protagonist, an Okami sequel announcement, an Elden Ring multiplayer spinoff, and Naughty Dog's new game Intergalactic – some awards were given out to games and creators.

Astro Bot has won the top prize at the videogame industry's biggest awards ceremony. The cute and colourful PlayStation platformer beat Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Black Myth: Wukong, Metaphor: Refantazio Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree and Balatro to be named Game of the Year at The Game Awards .

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Astro Bot came into the ceremony with a leading seven nominations apiece. Baldur’s Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2 dominated last year’s Game Awards, with Alan Wake scoring three wins and Baldur’s Gate taking six, including Game of the Year.

The exploration of Sony history held off Balatro and Metaphor: ReFantazio, which each received several awards at an annual showcase for the industry.

Somehow, 2024 is nearing its end, and last night’s The Game Awards show brought many surprising announcements, trailers, and even winners. Highlights from this year’s show include a cinematic trailer for The Witcher 4,
