The Game Awards 2025: Complete list of winners as Clair Obscur wins Game of the Year and sets a new record for awards won | VGC

The Last of Us Part II’s record of seven awards has been beaten…

www.videogameschronicle.com

Doom: The Dark Ages and South of Midnight managed to get at least one (Innovation in accessibility and Games for impact respectively), while Sony's flagship titles Death Stranding II and Ghost of Yotei were completely left in the dirt.

Is it over for us, Sonybros? How will we ever recover after this violent blow from that brute Phil Spencer?

 

[Camreezie]

Its not over while Microsoft has still failed to land a GoTY nomination

Doom wasn't on PlayStation?

Lets be real, the Games for Impact is one of those DEI/ESG things that was probably included exclusively for loans/tax credit. It's a pretty worthless category, in which a game that nobody gives a shit about won.

The accessibility stuff is cool though, but it's still not really any barometer of the game's quality other than polish. I'm patiently waiting for Death Stranding 2 to come to PC before jumping in.

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

Two dei awards I'd rather not win anything

 

[Sintoid]

WTF Best Family Game Donkey Kong... They had to give a prize to that game by contract or what??

 

[Calverz]

 

[Robb]

And all it took was a small fee of ~80 billion USD for Bethesda and ActivisionBlizzard to do it.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

This is when MS does not finance journalists/ awards. And there is a xbox tax.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I'll be more worried when Sony only leaves that award show with an award named "games for impact".

They were still the most nominated for the night...they couldn't compete with Clair Obscur that took all awards their games were nominated as well. And frankly Clair deserved them more so...

 

[alabtrosMyster]

They even got one by making Doom Eternal inclusive enough for retarded monkeys to be able to play it.

 

[damidu]

i don't know SOM feels robbed here

INNOVATION IN ACCESSIBILITY
Assassin's Creed Shadows
Atomfall
Doom: The Dark Ages
EA Sports FC 26
South of Midnight

and whatever " Consume me" is, here

GAMES FOR IMPACT
Consume Me
Despelote
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage
South of Midnight
Wanderstop

 

[Magic Carpet]

Hope people try out South of Midnight, It's a good looking game, and it's not 'that' type of game that people might think it is.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Just glad Ghost of Yotei didn't win any awards.

 

[AtomicStarving]

It's fucking insane that Santa Monica, ND... HAS NOTHING TO SHOW.... and its almost 2026 WTF is going on with them? (REALLY BAD LMAO IMO)

 

[CrimsonTide]

Imagine all these billionaires hyped AF on stage for....

Windows 95 lol

Legendary really

Woke award

So woke, they had two white women accepting an award for a southern black historical piece.

That's this while DEI retardation in a nutshell.

When you're so anti-woke you start arguing that only black people are allowed to tell stories with black characters now.

 

[DeepEnigma]

That's what they conditioned us with for over a decade, ya fucking knucklehead.

Don't try and gaslight your way out of this one.

What hypes mega wealthy dudes more than anything?

Making more money

 

[Punished Miku]

Right, so now you are arguing woke BS. Good one. You really showed "they."

 

[Bojji]

Sony barely releases games these days. Only game they announced here is some trash GaaS, fuck me...

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Nah but they should've hired BIPOC consultants to accept the award on their behalf.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It's called snark, moron.

I know, sarcasm and charm falls on deaf ears to wooden NPCs.

 

[Flabagast]

Sony continues to disappoint more and more this gen.

Sorry, I didn't know you was just joking poopy pants.

Fine!

And cocaine, in at least Balmer's case.

Do you think 4 Loop will be an award contender next year?

 

[Bojji]

Do you think 4 Loop will be an award contender next year?

 

[adamsapple]

Marathon, Fairgame$ and 4 Loop all come out next year.

This is what domination looks like.

 

[Ultra Donny]

Impressive due to the xbox tax

 

[Bojji]

Marathon, Fairgame$ and 4 Loop all come out next year.

This is what domination looks like.

I bet Men_in_Boxes is thrilled.

 

[DeepEnigma]

And Saros, and Wolverine, and Marvel Tokon, and...

Halo

 

[adamsapple]

And Soros, and Wolverine, and Marvel Tokon, and...

[DeepEnigma]

Saros > All though.

Housemarque gameplay doesn't miss.

 

[Mortisfacio]

In the past there's been complaints of favoritism or jokes about a dev or publisher paying to win (Kojima favoritism being the most recent notable complaint). Happy to see that didn't seem to be the case with any award this year. Yotei and Death Stranding aren't great games and rightfully deserved no awards compared to who they were up against.

 

[adamsapple]

Saros > All though.

I tried Returnal, I really did. But those kinds of games just aren't my bag. If they add more difficulty customization, I'll give it a shot for Kohli.

This one supposedly will have it where you don't lose anything. Like Hades. You get stronger and stronger.

Their silky smooth gameplay is sublime, however. Always has been in every game they made.

Sony barely releases games these days.

Because that's what gets you to be the single most nominated publisher at the event.

 

[Saber]

Most redundant boring awards

 

[Bojji]

They won anything?

 

[nial]

They won anything?

Nothing to do with the fact that games are needed to be the most nominated company in the first place!

 

[Shmunter]

Well look at that embarrassing title Sony announced in conjunction with JJ Abrams. Absolute cringe, never mind the 2 Gen ago gfx. Sony has no idea what and who to back anymore, they've lots the Midas touch.

Maybe it was a mobile game???

 

[Bojji]

Nothing to do with the fact that games are needed to be the most nominated company in the first place!

I mean, they couldn't win anything with two - the most boring sequels imaginable: DS2 and GoY. Both games could be expansions to DS1 and GoT.

What games Sony have for next year, GaaS trash, Saros and Volverine? Saros will be interesting for sure but I doubt it will be less niche than Returnal and Insomniac has a lot to prove after that trash Spider-Man 2.

Not taking away anything you said, it's probably true, but Doom literally felt like an expansion as well. Buggy and glitchy as shit on launch to boot.

 

[kiphalfton]

If this is what is considered a victory, this is pretty sad.

This gen has sucked in general, and everybody has lost.

 

[Bojji]

Yeah, I played it for first 2 hours and dropped it. I didn't like it since announcement.
