Outer Wilds never got a game award. I mean, I had to go look it up just now just in case, because the game awards are about as on my radar as the ocars.

also, in 2020, they had a VR/AR category for Alyx, and then never had the category again.

VR's killer app killed it.

They'd have to make it a lifetime award, good VR games take at least a year to get polished/shine though all the garbage VR apps.

According to steam charts, only like 2 of the top 100 VR games by current player count came out in 2023; a VR Tarkov clone and Gorilla Tag.

Didn't it win a BAFTA? Or was it just nominated? That counts more than a game award, imo
