The Witcher 3 wins ultimate game of the year at the Golden Joysticks

By Patrick Goss

The ultimate game of the year has been announced, with the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt picking up the top prize in the Golden Joysticks and Grand Theft Auto V’s first person offering picking up the innovation award.

Now in its 33rd year, techradar publisher Future’s Golden Joysticks are a vital part of the gaming calendar, and at a glittering ceremony in London, it was The Witcher 3, Bethesda’s Fallout franchise and Grand Theft Auto that dominated.

Techradar sponsored the innovation award and presented the gong to Rockstar’s GTA V team for the first person feature in one of the biggest selling games of all time.

But the biggest prize went to The Witcher 3, which (ahem) also picked up best visual design and ‘best gaming moment.’

The most wanted game, sponsored by The Sun, was snapped up by Fallout 4, and it was a game created to hype up this release – Fallout Shelter – that grabbed the mobile game award.
