Unlike other award shows the Global Game Awards cover pretty much every aspect (Hardware/Software) inside the video game industry. This includes games, hardware, peripherals, innovations, expectations, and much more.
CD Projekt RED and its critically acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt game has yet another bunch of major accolades to include to its ever growing list. The action-adventure RPG took home five awards in total, including Game of the Year, Best Open-World, Best Audio, Best Visuals, and Best Storytelling. The game also achieved second place in the categories of Best Innovator, Best Expansion, and Best RPG. Unsurprisingly, the Polish developer achieved the award for Best Developer.
