The BAFTA Game Awards 2026 are here to round out the last major awards show focusing on games from 2025, and while we're all expecting Clair Obsucr: Expedition 33 to take home the top prize, that's not entirely a foregone conclusion.
Is what could be said if Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 didn't win the award for Best Game, but as the awards are now wrapped up, Sandfall Interactive was once again the last team left on stage before the show ended, taking home Best Game and adding another GOTY award to its already impressive supply.
But this was not a night for Clair Obscur to run away with everything. It only won three awards total despite being nominated in nine categories, which was more nominations than any other game at this year's show.
The winners were much more spread out, as Clair Obscur, Dispatch, and Ghost of Yotei were the only titles to take home multiple wins. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and ARC Raiders also got to take home some hardware.
You can check out the full list of winners, below, and you can also finally celebrate the end of awards season for 2025's games, and finally look ahead to what could be the big winners for 2026.
