The Canadian Game Awards (French: Prix du Jeu Canadien) is an annual awards ceremony dedicated to achievements in the Canadian video game industry. It does not have a specific focus on games produced entirely in Canada, but also includes those with a significant amount of Canadian production staff. The show also highlights actors, esports athletes, and content creators who are from the country or contributed to local productions, even featuring them as presenters. As of 2023, the show is produced by Northern Arena Productions.

It is not the first Canadian awards ceremony dedicated to video games, and is a successor to the Canadian Videogame Awards that ran in the 2010s until their cancellation in 2017. Carl-Edwin Michel, the creator and executive of the Canadian Game Awards, had also worked on the Canadian Videogame Awards in its final years. The Canadian Game Awards began as an online event in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and switched to an in-person format in 2023. The show took a year off in 2024 after the 2023 edition had experienced difficulties in its production.

Starting in 2022, a sister show titled the Canadian Indie Game Awards was launched. This event had a specific focus on indie games and studios. In 2025, it was merged into the main show.

History

Canadian Videogame Awards

In 2010, the first Canadian Videogame Awards was held in Vancouver ahead of GDC Canada. The show was produced by the Canadian League of Gamers with support from DigiBC, Reboot Communications, and Greedy Productions. It had also received sponsorships from Xbox, PlayStation, The Georgia Straight, and G4. Dragon Age: Origins won Game of the Year. The other nominees were Assassin's Creed II, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, FIFA 10, and Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. Dragon Age: Origins was a multi-award winner, having won Best Writing as well. Assassin's Creed II won the most awards in total, taking Best Console Game, Best Visual Arts, Best Game Design, and Best Technology (which it shared with Prototype).

The 2013 edition of the awards was held with Fan Expo Vancouver, and was aired on Citytv stations nationwide with several weekend repeats on G4 Canada. Far Cry 3 won six awards in total, including the Game of the Year award and the Future Shop Fans' Choice Award. Mass Effect 3 was the runner-up with three wins, including Best Console Game.

In 2014, the show moved to November rather than being held in the first half of the year. This left a big gap from the previous edition of the show, so games from 2013 were included alongside those released in 2014. Furthermore, the event was moved to The Carlu in Toronto. Each year had its own set of winners for each award. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was Game of the Year for 2013, and Watch Dogs was Game of the Year for 2014.

Another move occurred for the 2015 edition of the show, which took place in the Mattamy Athletic Centre. Reboot Communications also announced an agreement with Swaf Media to co-produce future iterations of the Canadian Videogame Awards. This agreement also included a new initiative called the CVA FanFest, a fan convention to take place alongside the awards show. Reboot communications described this as being a long-term arrangement. The convention featured game demos, Counter-Strike tournaments, and gaming merchandise. Assassin's Creed Syndicate secured the Game of the Year award.

Yet another change in venue happened in 2016, this time to the Palais des congrès de Montréal to coincide with the Montréal International Games Summit. This time, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was crowned as the Game of the Year winner. This would be the final iteration of the Canadian Videogame Awards.

The 2017 edition was set to take place alongside many other cultural events for 150th anniversary of Canada in Ottawa. It also was slated to include a gaming tournament called the Canadian Videogame Happening. However, on 17 August 2017, it was announced that the Canadian League of Gamers would no longer be organizing the show on behalf of the video game industry in Canada and that the event was cancelled.

Canadian Game Awards

According to the producer, Carl-Edwin Michel, a major motivator for the awards show is highlighting that many games are produced entirely or in part by Canadian staff. Examples cited by him include Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, EA Sports FC, Dead by Daylight, Warframe, Cuphead, and Celeste. Furthermore, with Canada having the third-largest games industry in the world but no equivalent to the British Academy Games Awards in the United Kingdom or The Game Awards in the United States, there was seemingly no celebration for Canadian creators.

The 2026 Canadian Game Awards saw Jennifer Hale and Mark Meer invited to host the event, both known for voicing the female and male variants of Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect series. Patricia Summersett, the voice actor of Princess Zelda in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, was also invited as a presenter. Victor Lucas was awarded with an honorary award for his work on The Electric Playground. It was a television series that served as a stepping stone into the industry for numerous prolific individuals such as Geoff Keighley and Jade Raymond.

Reception

Canadian content

Following the 2026 edition of the awards, the CBC highlighted that none of the Game of the Year nominees were games that were set in Canada. This was noted as being a result of games being an international industry that can apply itself to any locale. However, it was also found to be due to Canada itself not being seen as very marketable. Developers of indie games set in Canada, such as The Long Dark, have said that investors shy away from Canadian settings. Another indie developer, who had set their game in Toronto, reported that they had to redo their entire funding plan because investors preferred if they would instead place it in New York City. The success found by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in embracing the culture of France was raised as a promising point for a Canadian game to emulate.
