Curiosidades dos BAFTA Games Awards 2020
- Outer Wilds e Disco Elysium foram os nomeados mais premiados, vencendo, cada um, em três categorias distintas.
- Death Stranding e Life is Strange 2 (Episódios 2-5) foram os únicos jogos que receberam duas nomeações dentro de uma mesma categoria, Performer in a Supporting Role.
- A categoria EE Mobile Game of the Year foi a única a ser votada pelo público.
