The Game Awards is designed to recognize the creative and technical excellence in the video game industry, bringing together a diverse group of players, developers, and culture to celebrate gaming as the most immersive and inspiring form of entertainment.

Tonight’s show was full of new reveals, awards, and recognition. We got our first look at the next game from Campo Santo, creators of Firewatch, revealing the exploration adventure In the Valley of Gods, as well as the debut footage of Soul Calibur VI. Finally, legendary game developer Carol Saw was given the Industry Icon Award for her contributions to the history of games.

A number of great games that you can play on Xbox One also took home awards, like Best Action Game Wolfenstein II and Best Narrative winner What Remains of Edith Finch.

The evening also included new looks at previously announced games coming to Xbox One like Metro Exodus, a fresh trailer from console exclusive PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and a release date for Sea of Thieves, coming to Xbox One and Windows 10 as an Xbox Play Anywhere title on March 20, 2018.
