The BAFTA Games Awards 2024 winners have been revealed, with this year's big victor – perhaps unsurprisingly – being Larian Studios' hugely acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3.
Baldur's Gate 3 took home a total of five BAFTAs, coming top in the categories for Narrative, Music, and Best Game. It also won the EE Player's Choice Award—the only category to be voted for by the general public—and Andrew Wincott was named best Performer in a Supporting Role, for his performance as Raphael in the game.
Tonight's other multi award winners were Alan Wake 2 – which secured BAFTAs for Audio Achievement and Artistic Achievement – and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which trumped the competition in the Multiplayer and Family categories. Additionally, clever photography puzzler Viewfinder had two wins: British Game and New Intellectual Property.
Notably, too, UK gaming charity SpecialEffect – which focuses on helping those with physical disabilities, particularly children, play games – was awarded BAFTA's prestigious Special Award, which recognizes “outstanding contributions to film, games, or television”.
The full list of this year's BAFTA winners – which includes Dave the Diver, Cyberpunk 2077, Hi-Fi Rush, and Nadji Jeter for his role as Mile Morales in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 – can be found below, with winners shown in bold alongside all category nominees.
