Last night in London, the 2023 Bafta Gaming Awards winners were announced, with God of War Ragnarök taking the most accolades.
The acclaimed PlayStation epic took home six of the 14 nominations it received, although Vampire Survivors also took home two awards, including best game.
While many had a smile on their faces, it was a gloomy night for some. Cat simulator Stray went home empty-handed despite its eight nominations.
If you missed the awards, you can watch back the livestream on Twitch.tv/BAFTA.
