Resident Evil Requiem won the Ultimate Game of the Year award at the 44th Golden Joystick Awards. The 2026 ceremony also named Big Walk the winner of the Critics' Choice category. Voting had closed on November 5, before information about the House House game's development was disclosed.

This week, House House said it had used large language models (LLMs) during the final stage of Big Walk's production. According to the studio, less than 0.1% of the game's code involved generative AI tools. The statement came after voting for the Golden Joystick Awards had ended, meaning voters did not have that information when they made their choices.

The two awards put Resident Evil Requiem and Big Walk in the spotlight for different reasons. Capcom's game received the ceremony's top honor, while Big Walk's Critics' Choice win became tied to the discussion over transparency around the use of generative AI in game development. House House limited the use of these tools to a small portion of the code and did not indicate any greater role for them in the project.

The results were also decided without Grand Theft Auto 6 in contention. Rockstar Games' title is scheduled to arrive in stores on November 19, after voting had closed. Its absence from the nominees therefore does not represent a loss at the ceremony.

This year's event kicks off the 2026 awards season, which will continue with The Game Awards in December. For now, the Golden Joystick Awards has given its top prize to Resident Evil Requiem and the Critics' Choice award to Big Walk.
