They were quick to recognize video games as media worthy of accolades and recognition and established the British Academy Game Awards in 2004. The show is held towards the beginning of the year to celebrate the previous year's achievements in gaming, with the Game Awards celebrating 2023's games on April 11th, 2024. Video games have come a long way in the last few decades, and the British Academy Game Awards have grown to celebrate achievements in gaming from all over the world.
