Last night, host Geoff Keighley closed the book on the fifth annual The Game Awards. Dozens of developers were awarded from studios big and small. There were a few surprises when it came to some winners, however. For one, few expected FromSoftware would win Game of the Year for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. It was a deserving win, though, one that will undoubtedly be remembered for a long time to come.

The celebration doesn’t have to stop here. Fans can lend there support to both the nominees and the winners by taking advantage of the PlayStation Networks The Game Awards Sale. For some odd reason, however, there is one particularly notable adventure missing from the PSN sale–Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, also known as 2019’s Game of the year. This seems an odd oversight, for sure. At least there’s a free dynamic theme to grab!
