While not as high profile as The Game Awards, the British Academy Video Game Awards (also known as the BAFTAs) is a glitzy awards show that celebrates the best video games of the last twelve months.
The 18th annual event was held last week, and it was a very good night for the best PS5 games. Third-person roguelike Returnal led the pack with nine nominations, and ultimately proved to be the big winner scooping four awards including the top prize: Best Game. The PS5 exclusive also nabbed the Audio Achievement award, Best Music and Best Performer in a Leading Role for Jane Perry (who voices amnestic astronaut Selene Vassos).
Returnal was not the only winner that can only be enjoyed on Sony’s next-gen console. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart also scooped two awards: Best Animation and Best Techincal Achievement. Plus, It Takes Two which is available on PS5 and PS4 picked up Best Original Property and Best Multiplayer. The swanky awards ceremony proved that right now the PS5 is absolutely killing it with an unrivaled lineup of epic exclusives and plenty of can’t-miss third-party hits as well.
Even better, almost all of the PS5 games that won big (or were nominated) at this year's BAFTAs are currently on sale. Here are the best deals on the PS5 games you need to play according to the BAFTAs.
