No Man's Sky has earned yet another accolade for its longevity - it's won the "Still Playing" award at the Golden Joystick Awards powered by Intel.
Despite an infamously poor launch back in 2016, No Man's Sky has continued to grow from strength to strength ever since. Developer Hello Games has refused to give up on its little space sim that could, sticking with the project through studio floods, online hate, and an increase in competition.
2023 has seen four major content updates to No Man's Sky, with the most recent Echoes Update proving extremely popular with long-term fans, as well as disgruntled Starfield players who hoped for more seamless exploration.
No Man's Sky has emerged victorious in one of the most competitive and heavily populated categories in the Golden Joystick portfolio this year, beating out Fortnite, Apex Legends, and even last year's winner, Genshin Impact.
The full list of Golden Joystick Awards 2023 nominees is as follows:
With today's Live Service market being arguably over-saturated, a critical failure from 2016 had its work cut out for it in the field above. Luckily, Sean Murray's dedication to the project has produced one of the most popular space games currently available.
Earlier in the year, a lot of folks prophesized the end of No Man's Sky due to its similarities to Starfield, but a strong PSVR 2 port, as well as a celebration of its seventh birthday, helped carry it through the year.
In September of 2023, right around the time of Starfield's launch, No Man's Sky reached a peak concurrent player count for the year at 27,000+ players, according to Steambase. That's not far off its all-time peak of 35,000 players.
Back in 2020, No Man's Sky scooped up the Ongoing Game award at the Game Awards, and since then it has won multiple Community Support awards as well.

It’s no secret that in a year of incredible games, Baldur’s Gate 3 is arguably at the top. Not only is it the highest-rated game of 2023 on Metacritic and Opencritic, but of its 353,326 user reviews on Steam, 96 percent are positive for an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating.
Baldur's Gate 3 has swept the board at the 2023 Golden Joystick Awards.
Baldur's Gate 3 and Larian Studios just had the most successful night in the history of the Golden Joysticks Awards.
2023 may not quite be done yet, but the game-of-the-year conversation is already beginning to heat up. Case in point, the Golden Joystick Awards, one of the longest-running video game awards shows with winners being voted on by the UK public, has announced their winners. The big winner was Baldur’s Gate 3, which walked away with “Ultimate Game of the Year” and six other awards. The rest of the winner’s field was quite divided, with only two other games, Final Fantasy XVI and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, receiving more than one award. Some games that seemed to be frontrunners earlier in the year, like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the Resident Evil 4 remake, only received a single trophy.
Baldur's Gate 3 gobbled up five awards in London today at The Golden Joystick Awards, an annual event put on by PC Gamer's publisher. That's Larian CEO Swen Vincke hugging the haul with a big grin in the photo above, which was posted on X by Larian director of publishing Michael Douse.
