One of the few individual awards of the day is for Best Performance for an actor in a video game.

The line between games and other screen media has blurred pretty significantly over the years so it's not uncommon to see people who starred in film and television as a lead in a game.

Humberley González who played Kay Vess in Star Wars Outlaws is no stranger to games having performed in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Far Cry 6 and Starlink: Battle for Atlas.

Here are the actors nominated for Best Performance

Remi Boutin from Ubisoft Montpellier says that accessibility enhances the game, and he must be right because they've just taken out the award with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

Ubisoft's Remi Boutin and Christophe Pic tell the audience they aimed "from the beginning" to create a game that was "as accessible as possible".

"[It was] to prove that accessibility doesn't dilute but rather reinforces the game," Mr Boutin says.

This game looks like it would put my stress levels in an unhealthy range.

The horror, mystery VR game is coming in 2025! With crossplay on PS5 and PC.

This category will recognise games that redefine gaming for players of all abilities and designing games with features like adaptable controls, communication compensation options or even the ability to toggle on or off arachnophobia mode like in BO6!

The nominees for Innovation in Accessibility are:

This looks like a dark take on the retro, arcade game.

This VR-only sequel continues the universe created by Rocksteady.
