BAFTA Games awards are one of the most prestigious awards when it comes to gaming. The 2020 BAFTA Games awards took place yesterday and was the first ceremony to be only live streamed.
This year’s Best Game Award was given to ‘The Outer World’ or as I like to call it, The Space Ground Hog Day game. Another Indie game that made a big splash was Disco Elysium, which grabbed the Best Debut award.
Control and Death Stranding kind of got snubbed. Both had 11 nominations but took home only one award. Here are all the winners of the 2020 BAFTA Games Awards:
