Grand Theft Auto 5 was named Best Game at the European Game Awards, which took place in Germany on 9 April 2014.
Rockstar also picked up the awards for Best Sound and Best Action Game. The awards do not come as a surprise, considering GTA 5 was the best selling game of 2013 and received high praise from critics.
