Game Awards 2018: The Full List Of Winners
The 2018 Game Awards have officially wrapped up, with dozens of awards handed out to the year's best games, the talented teams behind them, and the content creators that help build communities around their favorite titles. We've got the full list of winners right here, and, spoiler alert: Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War had pretty good evenings.
What were the highlights of this year's Game Awards show? It's tough not to be impressed at the sheer number of awards that the teams behind Read Dead 2 and God of War took home. We were moved by the nervous-yet-giddy acceptance speech from SonicFox, who took home the prize for Best Esports Player. And we got some new game announcements, including Far Cry New Dawn and The Outer Worlds.
Oh yeah, and Joker from Persona 5 is coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! That was certainly unexpected.
