Η αυλαία της ετήσιας τελετής The Game Awards έπεσε για το 2025, αφήνοντας πίσω της ένα ξεκάθαρο νικητή: το Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Όπως ήταν ευρέως αναμενόμενο, το πολυσυζητημένο RPG του studio Sandfall Interactive στέφθηκε «Παιχνίδι της Χρονιάς» (Game of the Year).
Το Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 σάρωσε αποσπώντας συνολικά εννέα βραβεία, καθώς τιμήθηκε για το Καλύτερο Αφηγηματικό περιεχόμενο (Best Narrative), το Καλύτερο Score και Μουσική (Best Score and Music), την Καλύτερη Καλλιτεχνική Διεύθυνση (Best Art Direction) και την Καλύτερη Σκηνοθεσία Παιχνιδιού (Best Game Direction), Καλύτερο RPG (Best RPG), Καλύτερο Ανεξάρτητο Παιχνίδι (Best Independent Game) και Καλύτερο πρώτο Indie Παιχνίδι (Best Debut Indie Game). Σημαντική ήταν και η διάκριση της Jennifer English για την ερμηνεία της ως Maelle στην κατηγορία Καλύτερη Ερμηνεία (Best Performance).
Στην κατηγορία του παιχνιδιού της χρονιάς είχαν βρεθεί και τα Hades 2 και το Hollow Knight: Silksong, τα οποία μπορεί να μην κατάφεραν να πάρουν το βραβείο αλλά κατάφεραν να πάρουν βραβείο σε άλλες κατηγορίες. Συγκεκριμένα, το Hades 2 κέρδισε το βραβείο Καλύτερου Παιχνιδιού Δράσης (Best Action Game), ενώ το Hollow Knight: Silksong, αναδείχθηκε νικητής στην κατηγορία Καλύτερο Παιχνίδι Δράσης/Περιπέτειας (Best Action-Adventure).
