The GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Video Game is an annual award that honors excellence in the depiction of LGBT characters and themes in video games. It is one of several categories of the annual GLAAD Media Awards, presented by GLAAD at ceremonies held in New York City and Los Angeles between March and May. The award was introduced at the 30th GLAAD Media Awards in 2019 and given to The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset (developed by ZeniMax Online Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks). The 32nd ceremony in 2021 marks the only time a tie has occurred, with The Last of Us Part II (developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment) and Tell Me Why (developed by Dontnod Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios) both winning the award. The award has received some criticism for its emphasis on Triple-A video games, and that many of the games nominated contained minimal levels of LGBT-inclusive content and representation. Since its inception, the award has been given to six video games, most recently Apex Legends (developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts) at the 34th GLAAD Media Awards in 2023.
