But there were some surprises in there, too &#8211; in true BAFTA style. Ghost of Y\u014dtei winning best music over Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, for example, came as something of a shock. Daredevil star Charlie Cox didn&#8217;t get the chance to big up the Fench motion capture performer behind Clair Obscur&#8217;s Gustave (something he almost certainly would have done had he won best performer in a supporting role). That went to Jeffrey Wright, who played Chase in Dispatch. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 lost out to Kingdom Come: Deliverance II in the best narrative category, and to Microsoft&#8217;s South of Midnight in the New Intellectual Property category, too.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Sandfall Interactive won&#8217;t be too down, however; the French studio won best Debut Game, and Jennifer English, fresh from her big The Game Awards 2025 win, continued her run by taking home the best Performer in a Leading Role award for her performance as Maelle in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. And, of course, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 won the biggest award of the night: Best Game. I&#8217;m not sure there was ever going to be another winner.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Elsewhere, Rebellion&#8217;s Atomfall won British Game, Hello Games&#8217; No Man&#8217;s Sky won Evolving Game, and Embark&#8217;s Arc Raiders won Multiplayer.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The team behind Arc Raiders accepts the Multiplayer BAFTA at the #BAFTAGamesAwards with @GooglePlay \ud83c\udfc6 pic.twitter.com\/FLUN9z0tzB<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BAFTA Games (@BAFTAGames) April 17, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An incredible moment as the whole team behind No Man&#8217;s Sky takes to the stage to accept the Evolving Game award at the #BAFTAGamesAwards with @GooglePlay \ud83c\udfc6 pic.twitter.com\/y4NHFaV3tq<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BAFTA Games (@BAFTAGames) April 17, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Blue Prince takes home the BAFTA for Game Design at the #BAFTAGamesAwards with @GooglePlay \ud83d\udc4f pic.twitter.com\/G0F76KVgFC<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BAFTA Games (@BAFTAGames) April 17, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Congratulations to the Atomfall team for taking home the BAFTA for British Game\ud83c\udfc6 pic.twitter.com\/1AqMvO0QJx<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BAFTA Games (@BAFTAGames) April 17, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Check the roundup below to see the winners list in full.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">BAFTA Game Awards 2026 Winners: The Full List<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Animation:<\/strong> Dispatch (AdHoc Studio)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Artistic Achievement:<\/strong> Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (Kojima Productions)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Audio Achievement: <\/strong>Dispatch (AdHoc Studio)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Best Game: <\/strong>Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>British Game:<\/strong> Atomfall (Rebellion)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Debut Game: <\/strong>Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Evolving Game:<\/strong> No Man&#8217;s Sky (Hello Games)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Family:<\/strong> LEGO Party!
