Astro Bot Sweeps BAFTA Games Awards 2025 With 5 Wins, Including Best Game: See Full List of Winners

Astro Bot, Sony's first-party action-adventure platformer, swept the Bafta Games Awards 2025, winning five prizes on the night, including the coveted top honour of Best Game. The PS5 exclusive also won in Animation, Audio Achievement, Family and Game Design categories. In a successful night for PlayStation, Sony's live service shooter Helldivers 2 also took home two awards for Multiplayer and Music.

Indie psychological horror title Still Wakes the Deep also emerged a big winner on the night, bagging three awards, including New Intellectual Property and honours for performers in both leading and supporting categories. Balatro, the breakout indie hit from 2024, won in the Debut Game category.

Astro Bot, which swept most year-end awards nights and was crowned Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024, fought off stiff competition from roguelite deckbuilder Balatro, action-RPG Black Myth: Wukong, PvE shooter Helldivers 2, action-adventure title The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and comedy adventure title Thank Goodness You're Here!

Metaphor: ReFantazio, one of 2024's highest rated games, won in the Narrative category, while Xbox and PC exclusive Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 took home the award for Technical Achievement.
