Every Winner at the 2025 Game Awards

Gamers, this is our Oscars. While, unfortunately, the 2025 Game Awards have nothing to do with the Movies Fantasy League, it is still a welcome addition to awards season as a whole. Everyone needs a video-game break! Just because the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles was all about video games, it doesn’t mean Hollywood wasn’t in attendance. J.J. Abrams, Gabriel Luna, and Jeffrey Wright were some of the stars presenting and accepting awards, and of course, Miss Piggy flirted with host Geoff Keighley as she teased her later performance with Rowlf. As for the winners, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 did a massive sweep, winning nine awards, including Game of the Year.

Below, all the winners and nominees of the 2025 Game Awards.
