British Academy Games Award for British Game
The British Academy Games Award for British Game is an award presented annually by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. It is given in honour of "the best British game of the year, across all genres and platforms. Creative control and overall development must be led by a British development studio.". The first ceremony to introduce the award was the 9th British Academy Games Awards in 2013, and was received by Fireproof Games' The Room.
Since its inception, the award has been given to four games, all from separate developers and publishers. As developers, Playground Games have been nominated the most times on three occasions. As publishers, both Sony Computer Entertainment and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment share the most nominations with four occasions each.
The current holder of the award is Thank Goodness You're Here!, developed by Coal Supper and published by Panic Inc., which won at the 21st British Academy Games Awards in 2025.
