"Elden Ring" defeated "God of War: Ragnarok", Horizon Forbidden West, and Stray to win the event's grand prize. The presentation, which combines award-giving with new announcements and first-look teasers, has become one of the most prominent nights in gaming, and this year was no exception.

The Elden Ring team's victory remarks were considerably overshadowed by a man who stood casually among developers near the ceremonial podium. He also spoke briefly into the microphone. Geoff Keighley, the event's host, and organizer claimed the individual was later apprehended.

On the other hand, critics adored it, giving it a score of 96 on the aggregate review site Metacritic.
