Baldur’s Gate 3 led the pack at the 20th Bafta Game Awards, with five wins including the coveted best game title.
The role-playing game based on Dungeons & Dragons also scooped prizes for music and narrative, with an acting award for Andrew Wincott as fan-favourite devil Raphael.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder won two, while Star Wars Jedi: Survivor missed out despite having six nominations.
Meanwhile, photography-based puzzler Viewfinder won best British game.
Last year gaming sales accounted for ÂŖ4.7bn in the UK, more than double that of the music industry, according to the digital entertainment and retail association (ERA).
There was some love for Nintendo’s two big games of 2023, with wins for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder in various categories.
But Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 came away with just one win despite being nominated nine times overall.
