This year has been phenomenal for Xbox players. We’ve witnessed the launch of exciting new games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, and Metaphor: ReFantazio, along with remarkable innovations like Xbox Cloud Gaming that are set to shape its future. We’re thrilled that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 won Best Performance (Melina Juergens) and Best Audio Design, and “Fallout” is taking home Best Adaptation.
Hosted by Geoff Keighley, The Game Awards capped off the year with a dazzling celebration full of awards, reveals, and special guests like Harrison Ford, Snoop Dogg, and Ella Purnell as the event honored the recent achievements in gaming while highlighting fascinating prospects ahead, we also brought a first look to the show.

Picture this: fresh adventures in a brand-new colony where you can befriend or obliterate new factions, totally your call!
