The Witcher 3 adds another Golden Joystick to its record-breaking collection

The Witcher 3, now 11 years old, continues to collect accolades. At the Golden Joystick Awards 2026, the game took home the award for Best Remake/Remaster, thanks to a remaster released earlier this year. It beat out contenders such as Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, Star Fox, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, Gothic 1 Remake, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced.

This latest win adds to an already impressive tally. Before its original launch, The Witcher 3 won the Most Wanted category in both 2013 and 2014. In 2015, it won Best Storytelling, Best Visual Design, Best Gaming Moment (for the Bloody Baron quest), and Ultimate Game of the Year. The following year, its Blood and Wine expansion earned Best Storytelling, Best Visual Design, and Doug Cockle's performance as Geralt won Best Gaming Performance.

The Witcher 3 now has 10 Golden Joystick wins. If including Studio of the Year awards given to CD Projekt Red in 2015 and 2016, the total rises to 12, a figure recognized by Guinness World Records. This puts it ahead of previous rivals Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, each of which won seven awards in a single ceremony.

The game may not be done winning. Its Songs of the Past expansion is scheduled for next year, and if it matches the quality of previous CD Projekt Red offerings, it could earn another award.
