2020 Gamescom Awards

Gamescom, the world’s largest event for computer and video games, announced the winners of the 2020 Gamescom Awards in two virtual ceremonies over the weekend.

This year the Best Of Gamescom Award went to Cyberpunk 2077, an RPG developed by Polish studio CD Project Red.

One thought on “2020 Gamescom Awards

  1. I follow video games a bit, and Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most-anticipated games in a decade. But it doesn’t come out until November. How can it be winning awards?
