The award ceremony took place yesterday as part of Develop: Brighton which brings game developers and industry veterans together to network and learn from each other. The awards actually operate a little bit differently compared to many other similar events in the sense that the winner of each award is decided by developers.

This was clearly a huge win for Horizon developers Guerilla Games who reacted with jubilation to the news and took to Twitter to thank the industry panel and pay tribute to the developers they were up against.

Horizon Forbidden West was not the only PlayStation title to pick up big wins, with Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart achieving an award in Best Technical innovation.

Other notable wins throughout the night went to Deathloop, winning the award for Best New IP. Life is Strange: True Colours won best narrative and the development team Sumo Digital, best known for their work on Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Forza Horizon 5, won two awards for Best Studio and Recruitment Star.
