Established in 1983, the Golden Joystick Awards are the world's longest-running public-voted games awards, with a star-studded ceremony held in London. The show is now in its 42nd year, and continues to recognise the talent present all across the video game industry. From those who create experiences that enrich our lives and transfix us during our downtime, to the people that bring those characters and worlds to life, there are plenty of games and studios that deserve recognition each year. 

Known as the ‘People’s Gaming Awards’, the 2023 edition saw a record number of votes cast across more that 20 categories.  Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 took home the most awards, picking up a record-breaking seven Golden Joysticks in total including Ultimate Game of the Year and Larian itself taking home Studio of the Year.

The Golden Joystick Awards 2024 shortlist will be announced in early October. View the full list of 2023 winners here.
