While The Game Awards may get all the mainstream attention these days, the video game industry still gathers together every year for the DICE Awards. At the 23rd annual DICE Awards, the big winners were Control, Untitled Goose Game, and Sayonara Wild Hearts. We’ve included a list of all the winners below.

DICE, not to be confused with the studio EA DICE (Battlefield 5), is an acronym that stands for Design, Innovate, Communicate, and Entertain. The DICE Awards are the centerpiece of the annual three-day DICE summit, hosted in Las Vegas by the nonprofit Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS). This year’s awards show, which took place Thursday night, was hosted by Greg Miller and Jessica Chobot. Unlike The Game Awards, whose nominees and winners are selected by video game journalists and critics, the DICE Awards are chosen by developers and other members of the game industry.

In addition to the usual categories, AIAS also inducted Connie Booth, vice president of product development at Sony Interactive Entertainment, into the AIAS Hall of Fame.

“Booth has been integral in helping produce numerous critically and commercially acclaimed SIE games over the past 25 years,” AIAS said in a news release, “including Syphon Filter; SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs; Jak and Daxter; Sly Cooper; Ratchet & Clank; Infamous; Resistance Fall of Man; Uncharted; The Last of Us; Days Gone; and Marvel’s Spider-Man. Booth also has been dedicated to incubating younger talent to create wonderful experiences for PlayStation fans.”
