The Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 winners are finally here, following two months of nominations and voting! While some winners were anticipated, a few surprising choices emerged from the public vote, reflecting the exceptional year for mobile gaming.
This year's awards mark a significant milestone. The journey from our inaugural awards in 2010 (with only one reader's choice category) to this year's impressive results showcases the industry's remarkable growth. The sheer volume of votes received is a testament to the event's success, but more importantly, this year's winners truly represent the breadth and depth of the mobile gaming landscape.
The winners list includes entries from gaming giants like NetEase (with Sony's Destiny IP), Tencent-backed Supercell, and Scopely; established publishers such as Konami and Bandai Namco; and beloved indie developers including Rusty Lake and Emoak. The strong showing of ported games is also noteworthy, mirroring the trend of mobile classics making their way to PC and vice versa.
