Here are the PlayStation Awards 2015 winners

The PlayStation Awards 2015 has concluded in Japan earlier today, awarding games across five categories based upon sales or user votes from across Japan and Asia.

The brief ceremony, complete with a small live orchestra, was streamed live on sites such as YouTube and NicoNico. While the link for the former has since gone private there wasn’t really much to miss out on, as speeches were in fairly short supply.

In any case, here are this year’s winners:
