The Game Awards inatt resulterade i nytt Dragon Age, postapokalyptiskt Far Cry, Obsidian-magi och en trailerkavalkad och utannonseringsparad. Det hade ju dock inte varit mycket till The Game Awards utan, tja, awards. På förhand var God of War, Red Dead 2 och Spider-Man nominerade till samma prestigefyllda priser, så det var uppgjort för en rejäl match mellan giganterna.

I slutändan fick Spider-Man inte ett enda pris. Snopet, men så stod ju Kratos och Arthur Morgan för mytologiskt och cowboy-motstånd. Red Dead Redemption 2 tog hem flest priser (för skådespelarprestation, musik, ljuddesign, narrativ), men God of War tog tyngsta priset för bästa spel – samt troféer för regi och bästa actionäventyr. Cory Barlog, regissör för God of War:

I'll be quick because they’re flashing the 'wrap it up' but I just want to say every single game that was nominated up here is an absolute fricken masterpiece, please give it up for all of them!

Tacktalet som stack ut och värmde mest stod dock Dragon Ball Fighterz-spelaren Dominique "Sonicfox" McLean för. Han vann pris för bästa esportare och gjorde det med den äran. Hans tal samt hela den digra listan med samtliga Game Awards-vinnare hittas undertill.
