The awards show also gave a look at some huge games to look forward to, including Vin Diesel as a dinosaur hunter!
The annual Game of the Year Awards took place on Thursday night, and gave gaming fans a mix of both the best of the year gone, and a great look at what they have to anticipate over the next few months and years.
There has obviously been some debate over the BIG winner of the year, especially considering the controversial backlash it received upon release, but that only lends it further standing in being one of the most memorable games in console history.
The list of the big winners goes as follows:
Game of the Year - The Last of Us Part II
Game Direction - The Last of Us Part II
Art Direction - Ghosts of Tsushima
Best Narrative - The Last of Us Part II
Best Performance - Laura Bailey, Abby in The Last of Us Part II
