Critics heaped praise on the character development in The Last of Us (Naughty Dog, 2013). On 12 March 2014, Ashley Johnson (USA), who portrayed Ellie in the game, collected the Best Performer BAFTA for her performance, becoming the first woman to receive the ware.

Ashley was honoured with the same prize the following year for her performance in the DLC The Last of Us: Left Behind, making her the first performer to win two BAFTA Games Awards.

The British Academy Games Awards was established in 2004, but the acting category was only introduced at the eighth event. The first person to win a Best Performer BAFTA Games Award was Mark Hamill (USA), who received his trophy on 16 March 2012 for his portrayal of The Joker in Batman: Arkham City (Rocksteady Studios, 2011).
