The Game Awards

All 2024 GOTY winners: Best Indie, Best Narrative, and more honored at The Game Awards

The winners, the champions, the best of 2024. Here are all the games and people honored in their respective categories at The Game Awards ceremony.

Update: Dec 13th, 2024 05:03 CET

The day of The Game Awards has finally arrived, and with it a double celebration. On the one hand for the 10th anniversary of this event by Geoff Keighley, and on the other because it is one of the great nights of the video game industry, where winning the winged statuette has become an honor for the studios. In a 2024 marked by the closure of studios and some titles that failed to show their true potential, it was possible to have a year that also had interesting and innovative proposals whose results will be remembered for a long time.

Below are the nominees and tonight’s winners, which will be highlighted.
