Baldur's Gate 3 won the prestigious Hugo Award as the Best Game or Interactive Work. The award ceremony took place on August 11, and it was attended by the game's writing team led by Swen Vincke.

This title was voted over other notable titles including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Alan Wake 2. Baldur's Gate 3 is the second game in history to receive a Hugo Award. The first was the roguelike Hades in 2021.

The Hugo Award is one of the oldest and most prestigious honors in the field of science fiction. It has been awarded since 1953 and is determined by voting at the annual Worldcon science fiction festival. Notable past recipients include Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and William Gibson.

Baldur's Gate 3 has also made history as the first game to win the top awards at the Golden Joystick Awards, The Game Awards, D.I.C.E. Awards, Game Developers Choice Awards, British Academy Games Awards (BAFTA), and now the Hugo Awards. Truly a remarkable feat for an instant classic of the video game industry!
