The Game Awards 2024 ceremony took place.

In addition to a huge number of loud announcements and interesting shows, the organisers summed up the results of 2024 and named the best games in various categories.

Here's What We Know

According to the jury, the Best Game of 2024 was action-platformer Astro Bot, which won in four nominations. But gamers expressed a different opinion and named Chinese action game Black Myth: Wukong as the Best Game. However, both novelties deserve to win and there is no sense to guess which of them is better.

The best multiplayer game was Helldivers 2, and the most successful indie hit and at the same time the best mobile game was Balatro. By the way, its sales exceeded 3.5 million in just 9 months, which is a great result for such a niche game.
