2024 BAFTA Game Awards winners included Baldur's Gate 3, which secured five wins, including Best Game, with other wins for Alan Wake 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Viewfinder. BAFTA recently revealed that the most influential video game of all time, according to the public, is Shenmue, which left the internet somewhat puzzled.

Indie card game Balatro won the Debut Game category. With its solo developer LocalThunk maintaining his anonymity, the award was accepted by actor Ben Starr (Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy 16) in his guise as the scary human incarnation of Balatro ’s iconic Joker, Jimbo.
