The Pocket Gamer Awards are a celebration of the best in mobile games, from the publishers of the leading and longest-running mobile games website. Since 2006, Pocket Gamer has been delivering news, reviews, tips, guides and features that inform and entertain mobile and handheld gamers around the world.
Its your chance to make your voice heard about the games, and the people who make them, that you've loved over the past year.
Organised by industry experts but voted on by you, the fans, the Pocket Gamer Awards reward the passion and effort that developers pour into making games.
This year is no different than any other year. For the Pocket Gamer Awards 2027 we'll be celebrating some of the best games launched over the previous year, and we'll also have some categories for games that have persisted through the ages. As ever, though, we've made a couple of tweaks here and there, and you'll even find some new awards in the mix.
Eligibility for most of our categories are limited to games, updates and experiences that were released between 1st October 25 and 30th September 26.
Naturally, Best Character, Best Game We're Still Playing, Best Community, Best Webshop, Best Game Update and Best In-Game Collab don't need to follow this rule with the launch, however updates should be within the period where possible. Similarly, do tell us your favourite Indie Developer, Publisher and Developer based on their catalogue, but do keep recent releases in mind.
