The winners of the 2026 BAFTA Games Awards have been named, with many deserving games, developers and performers being recognised for excellence across a variety of award categories.
Superhero narrative game Dispatch was one of the big winners this year, taking out multiple awards for animation and audio achievement. Performer Jeffrey Wright also took out the award for Performer in a Supporting Role for his work as speedster Chase.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 also received multiple awards, including for Debut Game, Best Game, and Performer in a Leading Role (for Jennifer English as Maelle). One Australian-made game also got a well-deserved nod, with Lego Party!, developed by Sydney-based team SMG Studio, taking out the award for Family Game.
Here’s the full list of BAFTA Games Awards winners, alongside the original list of nominees. We congratulate every team and performer on these well-deserved nods.
