The second annual Gayming Awards have wrapped and Life is Strange: True Colors has been awarded game of the year alongside two other big categories. Life is Strange: True Colors beat out Boyfriend Dungeon, Psychonauts, and Unpacking to take home the coveted title, while Alex Chen won the award for Best LGBTQ Character. Life is Strange: True Colors also took home the title for Authentic Representation, giving the game a trifecta of awards.
This year marked the second Gayming Awards but the first-ever live ceremony where the winners were announced in the Troxy Theater in London. Hosted by Julia Hardy and streamed live on both Twitch and YouTube, the hour-long ceremony doled out awards in eleven categories, including Gayming Icon, Industry Diversity, and LGBTQ Streamer of the Year.
