We touched upon it in our article overnight, but now we have the full list of winners from The Game Awards 2020. It was a humongous night for Sony, with nine gongs for first-party titles. Add in Final Fantasy VII Remake, and PlayStation 4 exclusives gobbled up 11 awards – bump that number to 12 if you count Fall Guys: Ultimate Edition as a console exclusive as well.

Obviously, The Last of Us: Part 2 was the biggest winner, with seven total awards – including the coveted overall Game of the Year. It rounds out an impressive generation for PlayStation, where it’s also seen success with titles like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Marvel’s Spider-Man. Long may this run continue!

Not much to complain about here. All my favorite games this year won at least two awards. FF7 Remake absolutely deserves best RPG and music, Ghost of Tsushima deserves best art direction, and The Last of Us 2deserves everything else.
It’s crazy to look back and see how well Sony did year after year this generation.
@Stragen8 Great management enabling great teams to make great games. People talk about acquisitions and stuff, but they rarely ever give credit to the infrastructure that enables these titles to succeed.
It's not just about whipping out your chequebook.
@Stragen8
Its even crazier to think some so called sony fans are fighting over TLOU Part 2 Vs GOT. I mean theyre both sony games....
Really want Hades on PlayStation
I see this as a win for Sony and gamers who like their single player and story driven games. So long as these titles win awards, more of them will come. Also gives Sony ample reason to continue to invest in these types of games. Another year with titles like TLOU2, GOT, etc is a win.
Best Combat - Ghost of Tsushima
@Gaming365247 - To be fair; TLOU2 & GoT are two very different genres of games, one may prefer TLOU2, while another may prefer GoT, it comes down to preference I guess, I enjoyed both games, but I lean slightly more toward GoT for the combat. Hell I'm surprised I enjoyed GoT as much as I did because I usually don't seem to enjoy samurai type games.
Another great year on Playstation.
Last year on PS4 for me, but Sony really gave me a bang for the cash I put down 7+ years ago. Top AAA games just kept coming until the very end.
Sony was really the only one pushing out great content that fits into a majority of these these award categories this year. Nintendo had Animal Crossing and Hyrule Warriors. Microsoft had...basically nothing. I guess Tell Me Why could have fit one of the categories, but I really can't think of much. Boosting Game Pass Ultimate is what Microsoft accomplished this year in gaming - which is still a huge accomplishment in my eyes, but not Game Awards worthy.
Though, I don't even care about the awards at all, I just watch for the World Premier trailers - it's like the end of year E3.
@JustPlainLoco same here. I usually never play those types of games but I really enjoyed it.
Whoever chose these games is incompetent
One thing that's also really impressive about TLOUII is the audio design, I'm glad it won that category. The gunshots, sound for intense scenes.
I'll have to get GoT at some point but I don't get how the score on MC and how it gets praised don't match. Is it just a case of those gamers going for the underdog because they hate TLOUII... I mean from Spiderman to HZD they at least scored 87+.
@Darten For another safe, ubisoft-style open world game I'd say player's choice is the best GoT could do
It really was a big year for PS! I hope this helps TLOU2 get out of redneck jail
Why did Among Us win? Wasn't it released in 2018?
Also, Best Narrative and Best Direction are incredibly ironic lol 😆
@Darten If I'm wrong then why didn't it do better?
All very well deserved, very happy in particular for the last of us 2 and FF7 Remake after all the hate those games got, especially the former. Well done to Laura Bailey too! She deserves it after all the vile messages that were thrown at her and of course for her spectacular performance as Abbey.
A bit embarrassing for Microsoft. And Nintendo.
@Darten I think if GoT had been a bit more ambitious or wasn't just another open world game in a sea of open world games it probably would have sit better with critics. It's a tired genre and unless you're breaking the mold or doing something truly innovative there's just no way around it
And yes I agree, incineroar is pretty great
Honestly I'm super happy with the results just a little sad that Dreams got almost no recognition. I know that's largely due to Sony being too quiet about it but I think those who played it realised how phenomenal it was and the critic reception shows that.
Can't believe Doom got *****.
Literally the only game that had no issues in any category.
Just because it is not a cinematic game.
Honestly, the moment Demon's Souls wasn't available for voting in nay category when it released in time, is also the moment this lost all credibility for me. Not including that masterful remake just nulls some of the categories. It should have gotten a number of awards, and not including for voting at least is plain mockery.
@TheArt..... 100% Got is really relevant because of the hate for TLOU2.
Got is actually an anomaly or paradox in that it is probably the first game to get attention not of its own doing but because of hate for another game......
So GOT really got its momentum because the Macho Guy Joel was killed by an LGTB+ person and this resulted in Jin getting the supposed gamers love....... The game is just your standard Ubisoft open world game..... The only thing that the game brings to the table is that it removes combat sponging, so instead of the game waiting your time in combat by having the enemy with a sponge health bar, the realistic one hit death combat is very refreshing and does not waste your time unlike in say God of War where the combat is shambolic and the game tries to make it interesting by having the enimies to be hit sponges therefore resulting in combats being unnecessary long.....
Also God is also overrated in that its basically a corridor walker and the only saving grace about God is the fact they made Atreus to be Loki, with this God is really just an ever age game and I don't think the game would have received any critical or commercial acclaim without the Loki story line, it was actually clever of them to do that.......
@GREGORIAN Well I thought as much. I look at gameplay videos of GoT I feel it's okay, no groundbreaking stuff. I'm sure it's pretty fun but when it comes to being awarded, TLOUII is more deserving.
