With a performance that was lauded by fans and critics alike, Maggie became an overnight sensation and the subject of press interviews, fan art, memes and even thirst tweets. Maggie found herself at the center of the awards arena in the gaming and voice industries and the recipient of a BAFTA Game Awards nomination for best "Performer In A Supporting Role". Her award wins include "Best Performance", The Game Awards, "Best Performer", The Golden Joystick Awards, "Outstanding Video Game Character" from the SOVAS Voice Arts Awards, "Best Acting In A Game" from the NY Video Game Critics Circle's NY Game Awards and "Outstanding Achievement In Character" from The DICE Awards.

This year, Maggie stars in the highly anticipated Dungeons and Dragons based RPG BALDUR'S GATE 3. She provided the voice and performance capture for Orin The Red, one of the game's main villains, opposite J.K. Simmons and Jason Isaacs. The three comprise the game's evil triumvirate. She also lent her voice to Lady Nicastro, one of the faction leaders of the Banished Court in Paradox Interactive's LAMPLIGHTER'S LEAGUE, set to release October 3, 2023.
