The BAFTA Game Awards with Google Play were held at today (or rather, tonight) in London, honoring the winners from the crop of 2025 games. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 took home three awards — perhaps not surprising given how many other award shows it has swept in the past few months. Other winners of the night include Dispatch, Ghost of Yotei and Arc Raiders.

Jennifer English took home another performance award for her role as Maelle in Expedition 33, for which she also took home a Game Award, a Golden Joystick and the New York Game Awards’ Great White Way Award. Jeffrey Wright took home the Supporting award for his excellent turn as Chase in Dispatch.

The awards covered a diverse selection of games, including Atomfall, Blue Prince and South of Midnight. In addition to the awards themselves, BAFTA also presented its Fellowship to Supercell CEO Ilkka Paananen.
