- The Expedition 33 team is still in disbelief that they’ve equalled Baldur’s Gate 3’s awards.
- Both titles won 7 awards at the Golden Joystick Awards.
- The actors involved in the game praise the studio and the love they put into the game.
Sandfall Interactive is just fresh from multiple award wins at the Golden Joystick Awards 2025, including the Ultimate GOTY for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and the team is still in awe. They’ve also managed to equal Baldur’s Gate 3’s wins at the venue.
Expedition 33 team stated that all this is ‘quite surreal’ as they never expected all those awards, and as the game equals the highly successful Baldur’s Gate 3′s record. They just made a game they liked and thought fans would too.
Why it matters: Expedition 33 bagged 7 awards at the Golden Joystick, winning in every category it was nominated in, and equalling the number of awards Larian’s critically acclaimed RPG won.
Speaking to Radio Times Gaming, Art Director Nicholas Maxson-Francombe stated that the team never intended to win all these awards; they just wanted to create something enjoyable, but it exceeded expectations.
We never intended for all these awards, we just wanted to make a game that we thought that we liked

Actress Devora Wilde, who had roles in both games, praised Sandfall, stating she’s shocked they’ve already won this many awards, just a couple of years after Baldur’s Gate 3’s humongous success.
After Baldur’s Gate 3, I didn’t think we’d be in this position so soon, and so it’s absolutely wild to be here
– Devora Wilde
Other actors, including Ben Starr and Aliona Baranova, also praised the studio and the love they’ve put into the game. Expedition 33 is a magical adventure that continues to do well, and it is also expected to sweep its TGA nominations as well.
