BAFTA Games Awards 2026 nominees announced

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 leads the field of nominees for the U.K.'s BAFTA Games Awards, while indie breakout Dispatch has surged into second place with nine nominations. Dispatch's haul marks a notable rise from The Game Awards in December, where it earned just two nods.

AAA titles remain well represented: Ghost of Yōtei received eight nominations, Death Stranding 2 has seven, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle picked up six. Arc Raiders also benefitted from BAFTA's late calendar slot and earned five nominations. All of those games, plus indie hit Blue Prince, are up for Best Game; Hades 2 and Hollow Knight: Silksong were not nominated in that category.

BAFTA splits performance awards into leading and supporting roles, which has produced multiple nominations for some actors—Troy Baker appears twice, and Clair Obscur accounted for four acting nods.
