Fortnite beats Red Dead Redemption 2 to win the Golden Joystick for Ultimate Game of the Year 2018
1 min read
In an extremely surprising turn of events, it seems that Fortnite has won the award for Ultimate Game of the Year over its fellow nominees at the Golden Joystick Awards 2018.
The nominee shortlist for the award consisted of:
- Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
- Celeste
- Dead Cells
- Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age
- Fortnite Battle Royale
- Forza Horizon 4
- God of War
- Into The Breach
- Marvel’s Spider-Man
- Monster Hunter: World
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Subnautica
Gaining third place was Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, with Red Dead Redemption 2 taking second place. Most were expecting God of War to be announced, but Fortnite took the victory royale (I'm sorry).
This was the only award it won at the Golden Joystick Awards, but it was the biggest one. Nick Chester, Senior PR for the game, responded on twitter.
Uh, woah. That’s a hell of an award name. Thank you! ❤️❤️ https://t.co/D1Dq1p9kir

We'll have to see what else it wins once The Game Awards roll in on December 6. See you there!
