Der Indie-Liebling Vampire Survivors erhielt am Donnerstag bei den BAFTA Games Awards den Preis für „Best Game“ (Bestes Spiel) und „Game Design“ (Spieldesign) – obwohl auch viele Blockbuster-Titel nominiert waren. Zwar konnte sich das Shoot-'em-up den Hauptpreis sichern, doch God of War Ragnarök erhielt die meisten Auszeichnungen, darunter fünf BAFTA Awards und einen Fanpreis.

Die British Academy of Film and Television Arts Games Awards 2023 wurden in der Queen Elizabeth Hall des Southbank Centre von Frankie Ward moderiert und auf Twitch übertragen, dort mit den Moderatoren Julia Hardy und Inel Tomlinson.

Zu den weiteren Preisträgern gehörten unter anderem Elden Ring und Tunic, die jeweils zwei BAFTA Awards gewannen, Rollerdrome, das den BAFTA Award für das beste britische Spiel bekam, sowie Shuhei Yoshida, Leiter der Independent Developer Initiative (Initiative unabhängiger Entwickler) bei Sony Interactive Entertainment, der mit dem BAFTA Fellowship ausgezeichnet wurde.
