The Game Awards 2021: List of All Winners

The Game Awards 2021 had a plethora of announcements, exciting reveals, new game trailers, and world premieres. It was a huge night and fans got to witness reveals of anticipated games like Star Wars: Eclipse, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and the most-awaited Alan Wake II.

New trailers for up-and-coming movies like Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and live-action TV series of the popular game Halo were also revealed. The show had guest appearances from stars like Sting, Ming-Na Wen, and Keanu Reeves.

This year’s game awards were surprisingly different from last year’s as the focus on aspects and parameters of choosing the best games saw some changes.
