This year’s Golden Joystick Awards presented Resident Evil Requiem with the GOTY award. This wasn’t the only award that the studio took home, though; they also won the studio of the year award for back-to-back hits.
The title was up against a stacked lineup including 007: First Light, Crimson Desert, Control Resonant, Blood of Dawnwalker, and more. Notably, the awards took place before GTA 6 or Ocarina of Time, so those missed out.
Requiem has sold over 7 million copies to date, generating over $200 million in revenue. It also has an excellent Metacritic score and was always a contender for the award, but let’s see if it can do the same at TGA 2026.
