While any frequent reader of PocketGamer.biz is probably aware that we run our annual mobile gaming awards for behind-the-scenes talent, you may not be aware that our sister site also runs their own awards. Nominations for Pocket Gamer Awards 2022 The games are now open and will be voted on by the public to determine the most popular handheld games of the year. This will allow publishers and developers to see which games captured the audience during a year packed with notable releases.
Unlike the Mobile Game Awards, which are curated by our editorial team and dedicated to the studios and teams behind some of the best games of the year, the Pocket Gamer Awards let the people who matter most have a say: the players. Without them, there wouldn’t be a market for games, and hearing what they have to say about the titles we’ve seen come out this year can be informative and inspiring to the teams who’ve been working on them.
Pocket Gamer Awards 2022 for outstanding achievements in the field of excellence
The nominations phase runs until the end of the month, and includes categories for Mobile Game of the Year, Best Mobile Developer, Best Mobile Publisher, Most Innovative Mobile Game and more, allowing players to vote for their favorites across multiple categories and genres. The shortlist will be announced early next month, after which there will be a spot vote for the general public to decide the winner in each category.
This year will also mark the debut of new categories, including Best Community Tool, Best Community, and Best Roblox Game. So we will not only see the expected, but also the unexpected, and offer players a chance to say more than ever.
Winners will be announced on December 5th and will include a curated entry into the PocketGamer.com Hall of Fame. PocketGamer.com includes theirs as well Game Finder Looking, in case you’ve lost track of some of this year’s releases and need a refresher on what’s available to vote for!
