Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 winners and game of the year announced

The Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 winners have been announced after two months of nominations and voting! While some winners were expected, several surprising choices emerged from the public vote. This year marks a high point for mobile gaming, reflected in the exceptional quality of the winning titles.

The awards journey has been remarkable, highlighting the industry's growth since 2010, when reader's choice comprised only one category. Witnessing the nomination process from October has been a rewarding experience, not just for the high volume of votes received, but also for the impressive representation of the mobile gaming landscape.

The winners represent a diverse range of developers, including major players like NetEase (with Sony's Destiny IP), Tencent-backed SuperCell, and Scopely; established publishers such as Konami and Bandai Namco; and beloved indie studios like Rusty Lake and Emoak. This year also saw a significant number of successful ports, mirroring the trend of PC games adapting mobile classics, but with a notable shift towards mobile adaptations of PC titles.
