The Golden Joystick Awards, one of the gaming world's long-standing events determined by public vote, have been presented for the 44th time. One of the notable results this year in the organization, which began in 1983 as a ceremony with a limited number of categories, was Crimson Desert winning the "PC Game of the Year" award.
Crimson Desert, developed by Pearl Abyss, took home the award in the PC category despite offering a similar experience on consoles. The production, which was previously noted to have received a score of 80 in reviews, was considered a challenging adventure for some players due to its vast and complex structure, yet an impressive one for its atmosphere and scale.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NIGHT
The ceremony's most prestigious award, "Ultimate Game of the Year," went to Capcom's new zombie-themed production, Resident Evil Requiem. The game also closed the night with four awards, having won "Console Game of the Year," "Best Game Trailer," and "Best Lead Performer" for Angela Sant'Albano in the role of Grace Ashcroft.
The multiplayer hide-and-seek game Meccha Chameleon was also among the notable productions of the ceremony. The game achieved success in four categories, receiving the "Best Multiplayer Game," "Best Indie Game," "Streamers' Choice," and "Developers' Choice" awards.
In other categories, Dispatch was the recipient of the "Best Storytelling" and "Best Gaming Soundtrack" awards. The Witcher universe also stood out with two separate titles: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered was named "Best Remake/Remaster," while The Witcher 4 received the "Most Wanted Game" award.
