Astro Bot was the big winner at the BAFTA Game Awards 2025, picking up five awards including Best Game.

The acclaimed PS5 platformer by Team ASOBI also picked up Audio Achievement, Animation, Family and Game Design awards on the night.

Still Wakes The Deep from British studio The Chinese Room also won three awards, with two going to actors Alec Newman and Karen Dunbar for their performances in the horror game set on an oil rig.

Last year’s smash hit co-op game Helldivers 2 picked up two awards, meanwhile, for Multiplayer and Music.

Otherwise, the awards were split across a fairly eclectic spread of games, with card roguelike Balatro, platformer Neva and narrative action game Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II among the titles that were recognised.

To be eligible for the 21st BAFTA Game Awards, games had to be released between November 25, 2023 and November 15, 2024.
