The 19th British Academy Video Game Awards were hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts on 30 March 2023 to honour the best video games of 2022. Held at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, the ceremony was hosted by esports presenter Frankie Ward, taking over from Elle Osili-Wood who hosted the previous two ceremonies.[1] The ceremony was livestreamed exclusively on BAFTA's Twitch channel, hosted by games journalist Julia Hardy and comedian Inel Tomlinson. Red carpet coverage was presented by Eurogamer's Aoife Wilson.
Sony Interactive's God of War Ragnarök received the most nominations, with fifteen, becoming the most nominated game in the history of the BAFTA Games Awards.[2][3] While God of War Ragnarök won the most awards at the ceremony, with six, the top honour, Best Game, was surprisingly won by Vampire Survivors.
