DICE Awards 2023 Winners: The Full List

The 26th annual D.I.C.E. Awards have arrived and, while God of War Ragnarok led the night with seven wins, Elden Ring took home the ultimate prize of Game of the Year for 2022.

The D.I.C.E. Awards are hosted by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) and this year’s show was hosted by IGN’s Stella Chung and Kinda Funny’s Greg Miller. Additionally, IGN was proud to be the media partner for the 26th D.I.C.E. Awards.

There were 23 different categories in the show and, as previously mentioned, God of War Ragnarok won the most categories, including Outstanding Achievement awards for Animation, Art Direction, Character, Original Music Composition, Audio Design, and Story.

Elden Ring, alongside winning Game of the Year, won four other categories – Outstanding Technical Achievement, Outstanding Achievement in Game Design, Outstanding Achievement in Game DIrection, and Role-Playing Game of the Year.

Alongside honoring games and their studios, the D.I.C.E. Awards took the time to induct Double Fine Productions founder Tim Schafer into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame for his over 30-year impact on the games industry.
