Baldur’s Gate III won 6 awards at the Golden Joystick Awards 2023, including 'Game of the Year.'

The 41st annual Golden Joystick Awards ceremony has come to a close, with Baldurs Gate III emerging as its triumph. Receiving the first statuette, Larian Studios' head, Swen Vincke, admitted he hadn't prepared a speech since the studio 'usually doesn't win anything.' However, by the end of the event, the third installment of Baldurs Gate III left no chance for competitors, securing awards in six categories, including 'Game of the Year.'

Final Fantasy XVI and the expansion Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk 2077 also performed well, winning in two categories. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which was nominated for six awards, only managed to secure one, earning the title of 'Game of the Year for Nintendo Switch.'

This year, the jury determined winners in three categories: AAA

• Best Streamer's Game: Valorant
• Critics' Choice: Alan Wake II
• Breakthrough of the Year: Cocoon
