The Game Awards 2022 broadcast ended, and we have the entire list of winners for the year. During the stream, they not only announced the winners for each category, but also showed off lots of trailers for games.

Despite not winning Game of the Year for 2022, God of War Ragnarok was a clear favorite. It won six awards throughout the night. One of the musical performances during the awards was “Blood Upon Snow” from the game. Hozier and Bear Mccreary performed it.
The Game Awards 2022 aired on December 8, 2022. Next year will mark the 10th anniversary of the event.
