PlayStation had a great night at the 2022 Bafta Games Awards, notching a total of six wins including best game for Housemarque’s PS5-exclusive Returnal.
Another PS5 exclusive, Insomniac’s Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, took home awards for best animation and technical Achievement. Returnal won a whopping four awards, including audio achievement, music, performer in a leading role, and overall best game. Returnal launched about a year ago to mostly positive reviews, and in November 2021, it took home the breakthrough award at the Golden Joysticks.

After scoring a degree in English from ASU, I worked as a copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. Now, as GamesRadar’s west coast Staff Writer, I’m responsible for managing the site’s western regional executive branch, AKA my apartment, and writing about whatever horror game I’m too afraid to finish.
