The Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 winners have been announced after a two-month nomination and voting process. While some winners were anticipated, a few surprises emerged in the public vote categories. This year stands out as exceptional for mobile gaming, a fact clearly reflected in the results.
The awards journey, from nominations in October to the final ceremony, has been remarkable. Not only did we receive an overwhelming number of votes, but—and this is crucial—the winners represent the mobile gaming industry's impressive breadth and depth. The list includes major players like NetEase (with Sony's Destiny IP), Tencent-backed Supercell, and Scopely, alongside established publishers such as Konami and Bandai Namco, and beloved indie developers like Rusty Lake and Emoak. The success of several ported games also highlights a significant trend this year, mirroring the frequent adaptation of mobile titles for PC.
