At The Game Awards 2019, which award category did Apex Legends win?

At The Game Awards 2019, Apex Legends won the Best Multiplayer Game award.

The ceremony took place on December 12, 2019, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Apex Legends competed in a strong multiplayer field that included Destiny 2, Final Fantasy XIV, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. Its win recognized Respawn Entertainment’s squad-based battle-royale design and the game’s impact during its first year.

Apex Legends received four nominations at the event. Besides Best Multiplayer Game, it was nominated for Best Ongoing Game, Best Community Support, and Best Action Game. Those nominations are easy to mix up because the game was a contender in several categories, but Best Multiplayer Game was the category it actually won.

The award was separate from the show’s top honor, Game of the Year, which went to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The 2019 ceremony also featured Apex-related announcements, including a holiday event presentation involving Mirage.
