The Game Awards 2025: All The Winners

This year’s The Game Awards 2025 is a clean sweep for one particular game studio: Sandfall Interactive.

The makers of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 won the most awards during The Game Awards 2025, winning 8 total awards out of the 12 nominations it got. This acclaim surpassed even The Last of Us: Part 2, which won seven awards back in 2020.

Here are the full list of winners from the nominees (which Kakuchopurei was a part of in determining, since we’re in the international jury of The Game Awards 2025 representing Malaysia), along with some clips of the show’s best moments. Winners are in bold.
