BAFTA Games Awards 2023: All nominations in all categories

Another iteration of the annual BAFTA Games Awards is creeping upon us, and the nominations for all categories for this year have finally been revealed today. The British Academy Games Awards seeks to honor "outstanding creative achievement within the gaming industry" for the past year. The 19th iteration of the auspicious night will celebrate the best that 2022 had to offer.

Serenading the hard work and efforts of the video game industry, the first British Academy Video Games Awards was conducted in 2004. The event saw Call of Duty (2003) pick up the award for that year's Best Game, with the latest winner being Returnal (2021).

Without further ado, here's the complete nominations list across all categories for this year's BAFTA Games Awards.

That, along with his love for the medium which he believes to be the pinnacle of storytelling, led him to become a writer in the genre.

Angshuman prefers both solo and multiplayer titles on PC and PS5. His love for gaming stemmed from playing Bounce and God of War on mobile phones, and on to Age of Empires and Zoo Tycoon on PC. If he ever wished to convert a gaming cynic into a admirer, he would recommend indie games because of their versatility and their ability to be unaffected by genre-stifling publisher expectations.

Angshuman has interviewed several indie game developers in his career, spoken at many conferences, and contributed to book chapters. In his capacity to create highly accurate content, he thoroughly researches a topic, tracks citations until he finds the original source, and ensures his content doesn't misrepresent, misquote, or appropriate information.

In his spare time, Angshuman enjoys story writing, shooting landscapes and short films, reading, and painting.
