'Uncharted 4' & 'Overwatch' Biggest Winners From SXSW Gaming Awards

Last night, SXSW held their annual Gaming Awards on the second to last day of the massive entertainment festival. The event was hosted by Austin Creed (WWE's Xavier Woods) and OMGitsfirefoxx, with appearances from Jacksepticeye, Rachel Quirico, Markiplier, Janet Varney, Starbomb, and Cirque du Soleil. Sadly, for anyone outside of Austin, the event didn't receive as much attention as it should have, as the festival greatly underplayed this year's awards and scaled back on advertisement and promotion of the event compared to previous years. Which is a shame because this year's awards weren't too shabby. But I admit, I enjoyed it because of Creed's involvement, the guy is basically the best personality going these days for gaming culture with his personality and pure love for the genre. Even when the dude loses on his own channel, he's having fun.

Below are the complete list of winners, with the top winners being Uncharted 4 (5 awards) Overwatch (4 awards) taking home the biggest prizes for the evening with Video Game of The Year and ESports Game Of The Year, respectfully. If you'd like to watch the awards yourself, we've included the full Twitch stream at the bottom for you to enjoy!
