Baldur's Gate 3 sweeps BAFTA Games Awards 2024

The Tribeca Festival returns this June, and it will once again feature official games selections and even a game-focused panel.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the action-adventure title from Respawn Entertainment, is heading to EA Play subscription service. The game is confirmed to be available on the service via Xbox and PC Game Pass starting April 25. Additionally, Jedi: Survivor has been spotted as being included with the EA Play subscription on PlayStation Store in some regions. The acclaimed Star Wars title is joining EA's subscription service almost exactly a year after its release across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.

Last year’s hit Star Wars Jedi: Survivor could be coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate through EA Play, and might even be already available in certain regions. Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment took many Star Wars fans by surprise when it released Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in 2019, a single-player action title that introduced former Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis to the Galaxy Far, Far Away. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor continued his story with an assortment of new lightsaber styles and planets to explore, earning mainly positive reviews on consoles and a more mixed reception on PC due to technical issues.

As if you needed more proof that Baldur's Gate 3 is, in fact, a pretty damn fine video game, Larian’s D&D RPG swept through the video game BAFTA awards yesterday, picking up five of the British entertainment org’s top trophies. Even more impressively - after all, Baldur’s Gate 3 winning a shedload of awards is old hat by now - its latest Best Game triumph means that the sprawling RPG-slash-fanfic machine is now the first video game to win all five of the industry’s major Game of the Year awards.

Baldur's Gate 3 continues to collect year-end honours as the expansive RPG from Larian Studios took home the top award at the 20th BAFTA Games Awards held in London late Thursday. The Dungeons & Dragons-style RPG was crowned as the Best Game, in addition to winning in four other categories on the night. Acclaimed survival-horror sequel Alan Wake 2, Nintendo platformer Super Mario Bros. Wonder and British indie Viewfinder won two BAFTAs each, while Cyberpunk 2077 continued its redemption story with a win in the Evolving Game category.

Baldur's Gate 3 has completed its own Grand Slam of Game of the Year Awards with last night's win at the BAFTA ceremony, following its previous triumphs at The Game Awards, Golden Joystick, New York Game Awards, DICE Awards, NAVGTR Awards, Steam, GDC Awards, and our own Awards.

The BAFTA Games Awards 2024 winners have been revealed, with this year's big victor — perhaps unsurprisingly — being Larian Studios' hugely acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3.

The 2024 BAFTA Games Awards have come and gone but didn’t leave without another round of wins for Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3. The Dungeons and Dragons RPG rolled away from the show with five wins (including Best Game) while other highlights saw solid wins for projects like Alan Wake 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Viewfinder.
