The Pocket Gamer Awards 2024 winners have been unveiled after a two-month process encompassing nominations and public voting. While many anticipated winners claimed their accolades, some surprising choices emerged from the public vote. This year marks a significant milestone for mobile gaming, and the voting results reflect its remarkable growth and evolution.

Observing the nomination and voting process from its inception in October has been an incredible experience.
