The Swedish Game Awards celebrated a vibrant atmosphere in Stockholm, where the event was hosted by actor Fares Fares. The highlight of the ceremony was the game "ARC Raiders," developed by the Stockholm-based studio Embark, which won a total of four awards, including Game of the Year, Best Sound Design, Best Game Design, and Best Technology. Released in October 2025, "ARC Raiders" has received acclaim from both critics and players for its immersive experience within the 'extraction shooter' genre, where players are dropped into a dystopian world besieged by lethal robots, tasked with gathering resources and reaching safety, either alone or in cooperation with others. Additionally, the awards honored other noteworthy titles, with Josef Fares and his studio Hazelight taking home the award for Best Multiplayer Game with their title "Split Fiction." This recognition underscores the growing impact of innovative multiplayer experiences in the gaming industry. Furthermore, the independent category featured "Keep Driving," a car maintenance simulator developed by the Gothenburg studio YCJY Games, demonstrating the diversity and creativity present in the Swedish gaming scene.
