Golden Joystick Awards honors BioWare, crowns Resident Evil Requiem

The 44th Annual Golden Joystick Awards, presented by Pot Noodle, aired tonight and honored games and people who changed gaming between late 2025 and 2026. Resident Evil Requiem took home several honors for the night, including Ultimate Game of the Year, and its publisher Capcom took home three others, including Studio of the Year.

Other winners for the night including sleeper indie hit Meccha Chameleon, which took home four awards (including two of the three critically chosen awards); and Dispatch, which won two. Other notable winners for the night include The Witcher 4, which won Most Wanted Game.

Grand Theft Auto VI missed the cut-off for any of the categories, and it also won the previous award for Most Wanted in 2025. It’s likely the game will be nominated for many categories in the 2027 awards, as it’ll fall within the nomination period for that ceremony.

Before the awards began, host Alix Wilton Regan said a few words in support of the closed studio BioWare. Regan played several characters, including one of the playable characters in Dragon Age: Inquisition and Samantha Traynor in Mass Effect 3. She noted that, while BioWare is one of many such unfortunate studios, its closure hit her very hard. “So many of us watching tonight stand on their extraordinary shoulders.”

In addition to the heartfelt tribute to the lost studio, there’s somethin melancholic about Doom: The Dark Ages winning best game expansion, given how many staffers at Id Software no longer have jobs following Xbox’s rinsing of its studio system earlier this year.
