The 42nd annual Golden Joystick Awards are over, the winners have been announced, and Black Myth: Wukong has walked away with the big Ultimate Game of the Year award. Helldivers 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth did very well for themselves this year too, claiming four awards each, and Rockstar used its one win—for Most Wanted Game, naturally—to tease «absolutely mind-blowing things» coming in Grand Theft Auto 6.
