Last night, the game industry came together to celebrate video games all under one roof. It was a night to remember, and one you can watch here.
Worlds truly did collide with the heads of Playstation (Shawn Layden), Xbox (Phil Spencer) and Nintendo (Reggie Fils-Aimé) taking to the stage to deliver a special message; we are all gamers. No matter what console we choose, we are united as one or, as Spencer put it: “As an industry, we are most powerful when we come together”.
The show was a success from start to finish with several major reveals and music by the orchestra inbetween the awards. Who won I hear you ask? Well, here’s a full list of every word and which games (and personalities) took home the trophy.
