  "account": "The 44th annual Golden Joystick Awards concluded, naming Resident Evil Requiem as the Ultimate Game of the Year. The award-winning game, Capcom's latest zombie-filled adventure, claimed three other victories as well: Console Game of the Year, Best Game Trailer, and Best Lead Performer for Angela Sant Albano's role as Grace Ashcroft. Crimson Desert earned the distinction of PC Game of the Year, which came as a surprise despite its availability on consoles and a nearly identical experience. Meccha Chameleon, a multiplayer hide-and-seek game, secured four awards, including Best Multiplayer Game, Best Indie Game, Steamers' Choice Award, and Developer's Choice Award. Dispatch and The Witcher also claimed two awards each, for Best Storytelling and Best Soundtrack, respectively.",
