The BAFTA Game Awards 2024 have been and gone and we've got all the winners and nominees listed to see who won big in what was an incredibly competitive year.

For those who have paid attention to other awards shows, you may not be too surprised to see the usual suspect Baldur's Gate 3 being the big winner of the night with 5 awards, but Alan Wake 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder also had respectable showings too as well as indie title Viewfinder.

It was certainly a night of glitz, glamour and of course, games. But special attention was given to the extreme difficulties facing the tens of thousands of developers across the globe who have been laid off.

Tribute too was paid to those in the industry who have unfortunately passed away in recent memory with Remedy Interactive sweethearts Poets of the Fall playing a poignant rendition of "Late Goodbye".

But did your favourite game of the year bag an iconic metal mask? Read on below and see who the winners and nominees of the BAFTA Game Awards 2024 are!
