Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Wins BAFTA Game Award, Becoming Only Second Game Ever to Sweep All Five Major Honors

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 secured the BAFTA Game Award for Best Game, achieving a historic sweep of all five major industry awards. This marks the first time since Baldur's Gate 3 that a single title has captured every top honor across the major gaming award ceremonies.

The 22nd BAFTA Games Awards concluded in London, marking the final major event celebrating 2025's gaming achievements. This ceremony is one of five top global honors, including the Dice Awards, The Game Awards, the Golden Joysticks, and the Game Developers Choice Awards. The BAFTAs often highlight a diverse range of titles, recognizing artistic merit alongside commercial success. During the ceremony, Tonda Ros, accepting an award for his game *Blue Prince*, acknowledged the collective effort of developers for expanding his understanding of what games could be.

*Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* earned the coveted BAFTA Game Award for Best Game. This win makes it only the second game in history, following *Baldur's Gate 3*, to secure the top prize at all five major gaming award ceremonies. The title previously demonstrated its critical acclaim by winning nine categories at The Game Awards earlier this season.

Achieving this clean sweep underscores *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33*'s widespread critical acclaim across the industry. While the game dominated The Game Awards, its BAFTA success focused on the top prize.

Other notable winners at the BAFTAs included *Dispatch*, a comedy which received three awards, and *Kingdom Come: Deliverance II*, which earned the narrative category award. *Ghost of Yōtei* secured wins for technical achievement and music. The BAFTA awards specifically emphasize games as works of art, distinguishing themselves from events that prioritize commercial metrics.

The gaming landscape continues to evolve, with new titles such as *Saros*, a PlayStation 5 shooter, now available for players to explore.
