Elden Ring is the best game released video game last year, and it cemented that claim by winning the “Game of the Year” at The Game Awards 2022. This action role-playing game became an instant hit within the gaming community. The game’s unique concept and gameplay attracted gamers to try this title by FromSoftware. Further, Elden Ring sold over 20 million copies until February 2023.

But, the achievements mentioned above do not imply that this action role-playing game is winning awards. Elden Ring took home two additional awards at the recent BAFTA Game Awards. However, many fans were left with raised eyebrows because it won one award in the least-expected category.

Elden Ring wins the best Multiplayer at BAFTA

The BAFTA Game Awards 2023 awarded Elden Rings for the best “Original Property in 2023” and the best “Multiplayer in 2023”. Fans might be excited to see this game being honored for its unique gameplay and concept. But this action role-playing game winning an award for its multiplayer was probably surprising for the gaming community.

FromSoftware frequently received criticism for the multiplayer components in their games. On comparing Elden Ring to many modern multiplayer, it lacked cooperative experiences and suffered from stability issues and balance difficulties. Further, this game competed against multiplayers like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, FIFA 23, Overwatch 2, Splatoon 3, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge.
