Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 Crown Year's Best Games

The Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 winners are finally here, following two months of nominations and voting! While some winners were expected, a few surprises emerged from the public vote. This year's mobile gaming landscape was exceptionally strong, reflected perfectly in the results.

This year's awards mark a significant milestone, showcasing the immense growth of the mobile gaming industry since the inaugural Pocket Gamer Awards in 2010 (with only one reader's choice category then). The sheer volume of votes was incredible, but more importantly, this year's winners truly represent the breadth and depth of the mobile gaming world.

The winners span a wide range of developers and publishers. We see giants like NetEase (with their Sony IP: Destiny), Tencent-backed SuperCell, and Scopely, alongside established names such as Konami and Bandai Namco, and beloved indie developers like Rusty Lake and Emoak. The rise of ports is also evident, with several high-quality titles making the successful transition from other platforms to mobile.
