The Game Awards 2021 – The Winners
Well that was quite the show, eh? Whilst we all get a little distracted by the massive amount of trailers that get dropped during the show (ALL of which you can watch right here), believe it or not there were some actual awards being handed out.
Fortunately, we feel like each category found its correct winner, and you can find the entire list below in the order they were announced.
