The 27th annual DICE Awards has announced its winners from across the 2023 gaming calendar. Starting in 1998, the DICE Awards are one of the oldest and most respected gaming awards platforms, hosted by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences in Las Vegas.
Some of the 2024 winners are admittedly a little unsurprising, reflecting the results of other awards ceremonies such as The Game Awards and Checkpoint’s own Game of the Year. Baldur’s Gate 3 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 took home the most awards, but we’ll provide a full breakdown of the winners below.
