Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 winners and game of the year announced

• After two months of nominations and voting the winners have been announced for this year's Pocket Gamer Awards
• While there were more than a few expected names, there were a couple of unexpected winners who took home the public voted awards
• This has been one of the strongest years for mobile games on record and the public's votes show exactly that

After a monthly nomination period, a month-long voting period and a massive awards show, the Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 winners have finally been revealed. 

It has been an astonishing run, and the list of winners truly shows how far the industry has come since we first ran our awards (with reader's choice leading just one of the categories) back in 2010.

I'm lucky enough to have been able to see how this whole thing has been progressing since we first flicked on the switch for Nominations back at the start of October, and it's been a massive triumph. But, it's not just been a triumph as in we got lots and lots of votes (we did), but it's critically a triumph in that I feel like this is the first year that we mobile players can proudly declare that we've created a winners list that's truly representative of the wider industry.

There's everything here ranging from some of the largest companies in the world (NetEase, with Sony IP: Destiny, Tencent backed SuperCell, Scopely) alongside some of the oldest publishers in games: Konami and Bandai Namco) through to indie sweethearts like Rusty Lake, Emoak. It's also been an amazing year for ports. In the same way that PC regularly gains adaptations of mobile classics, this year we've seen plenty of great experiences make the journey the other way, and that reflects in the three incredibly strong ports that have picked up awards.

Anyway, enough preamble. You can find all of the winners below:
