The Canadian Game Awards took place April 9th and celebrated the Canadian gaming industry. Awards went out to big AAA titles and indie games alike, and there were even some for Canadian esports players.
If it feels like it wasn’t too long ago that we had the last Canadian Game Awards (CGAs), well, you’re not wrong. The 2020 CGAs were delayed due to COVID-19 and instead of taking place in April as originally planned, the CGAs happened in September.
Anyway, we’ve got the full list of CGA winners below. If you missed the event and want to watch it, the CGA event is also available on Twitch.
