Τα Game Awards 2020 πραγματοποιήθηκαν με επιτυχία και η φετινή διεξαγωγή ήταν πρωτόγνωρη, εξαιτίας της πανδημίας του κορονοϊού.
Έτσι, οι διοργανωτές προσαρμόστηκαν στα νέα δεδομένα και η μεγαλύτερη τελετή απονομής βραβείων των video games «χωρίστηκε» σε τρεις τοποθεσίες: το Λος Άντζελες, το Λονδίνο και το Τόκιο.
Παρόλα αυτά, δεν έλειψαν οι εκπλήξεις κατά την διάρκεια της απονομής, όπως και οι ανατροπές. Μεγάλος νικητής της βραδιάς αναδείχθηκε το The Last of Us Part II, το οποίο όχι μόνο αναδείχθηκε παιχνίδι της χρονιάς, αλλά και θριάμβευσε συνολικά σε επτά κατηγορίες.
Έπεται, ακολούθησαν τα Among Us, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Ghost of Tsushima και Hades, καθώς απέσπασαν δύο βραβεία το κάθε ένα.
