The Golden Joystick Awards announces two special awards for 2021 installment

The Golden Joystick Awards will celebrate 50 years of gaming with two special awards.

Announced today, the award ceremony will include the categories of Ultimate Game of All Time and Best Gaming Hardware of All Time. More information about these awards will be released soon.

Games and Film content director Daniel Dawkins said this about these special awards:

“We’re inviting players to celebrate ‘50 Years of Games’ with us in a landmark moment for the gaming industry and the Golden Joystick Awards. The world’s first commercially available video game: Computer Space, released in November 1971. As the first coin-operated arcade machine, it represented the first time a videogame was ever played in exchange for money: the birth of videogames as a commercial industry.

The Golden Joystick Awards will celebrate this momentous milestone in gaming by uniting our iconic brands and experts with the gaming industry’s most beloved creators in a special show that will honour the industry's 50th anniversary.”

Next month, gamers will be allowed to vote for their favorite games in a slew of categories. The winners will be revealed during a special digital ceremony on Tuesday, November 23. Last year’s ceremony can be seen below.
