Si è conclusa da poche ore l’edizione 2020 dei Game Awards, la prima trasmessa esclusivamente in livestream, viste le limitazioni dovute alla pandemia. Un evento in cui sono stati presentati svariati titoli, espansioni di prodotti già sul mercato e brevi anteprime di brand storici come Dragon Age e Mass Effect. L’aspetto sicuramente più interessante dello show è stata la premiazione dei titoli più rappresentativi della passata stagione videoludica, letteralmente dominata da The Last of Us: Parte 2 che oltre al prestigioso titolo di “Game of the year” si è portato a casa altri 6 riconoscimenti.
