Winners Emerge at 2024 Pocket Gamer Awards

The Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 winners have been announced after two months of nominations and voting! While some winners were anticipated, several surprising choices emerged from the public vote. This year's mobile gaming landscape has been exceptionally strong, a fact clearly reflected in the results.

The awards journey, spanning nominations and a month-long voting period, culminated in a spectacular ceremony. The winners showcase the remarkable progress in the mobile gaming industry since the awards' inception in 2010 (with only one reader's choice category then).

Observing the entire process from the October nominations has been incredibly rewarding. The high volume of votes is impressive, but more significantly, this year's winners genuinely represent the breadth and depth of the mobile gaming industry.

The list encompasses giants 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 including Rusty Lake and Emoak. The success of several ported games is also noteworthy, mirroring the trend of PC games adapting mobile titles, but in reverse this year.

Here's the complete list of winners:
