Cyberpunk 2077, a 2020 release, was also included on the voting docket which seems a bit odd since it wasn't released in 2021, but, didn't release until December 2020 so maybe that's why.

Cyberpunk won Outstanding Story-Rich Game, beating out Life is Strange: True Colors, Resident Evil Village, Days Gone, and Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

Winners of various other awards were Cooking Simulator VR, Nioh 2, and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.
