The 2023 Golden Joystick Awards took place earlier today, and Starfield took home the Xbox Game of the Year award! In other words, the best game on Xbox. It may seem obvious, but the same did not happen on PS5, without exclusives. The GOTY award for PlayStation was Resident Evil 4 Remake, a cross-platform game!

Bethesda’s epic RPG beat out Dead Space, Hi-Fi RUSH, Planet of Lana, Chants Of Sennaar, and Pentiment to take the prize, while Resident Evil 4 that it The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom Tears It received the equivalent awards for PlayStation and Nintendo respectively. Yes, even Final Fantasy XVI and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 couldn’t snatch the award from Capcom.

The “Ultimate GOTY” award went to Baldur’s Gate 3, which ended up taking first prize, taking home seven very impressive prizes in total. The game is about to arrive on Xbox, standing alongside Starfield and Diablo IV as the best RPGs of the year.
