The BAFTA Games Awards 2020 took place on Thursday (April 2), even after many award ceremonies have been cancelled due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Obviously with the lockdown in effect, the ceremony was a livestreamed affair. Dara O'Briain hosted for the 10th year in a row, PlayStation Access star Elle Osili-Wood fronted a virtual 'red carpet', while nominees and winners (including people like The Last of Us 2's Troy Baker) popped up on stream too.

All in all, over 720,000 people were reported to have tuned in.

But what about the winners? Outer Wilds and Disco Elysium were the big winners of the night, with three awards each. The former also nabbed the award for Best Game.

Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding took home a prize too, while the Metal Gear Solid auteur himself was honoured with the BAFTA Fellowship.

Big hitters like Untitled Goose Game, Control, Luigi's Mansion 3, Life is Strange 2 and Sayonara Wild Hearts also scooped up awards.
