Vote Now for 2025 PG People's Choice Award

The nomination period has concluded, and voting is officially open for the Pocket Gamer People's Choice Award 2025. You submitted a fantastic range of suggestions, which have now been narrowed down to the top twenty finalists. If your favorite game from last year made the list, that’s great – but your involvement isn't over yet. Voting is live and will close at midnight on July 31st. Be sure to cast your vote (and tell your friends) to help your pick secure the win.

If you missed the nomination phase, don’t worry. Chances are, a game you enjoyed over the past year is on the shortlist. Check out the nominees below:

• Balatro
• Battle Cars: Nitro PvP Shooter
• Bloons Card Storm
• Etheria: Restart
• Fortnite
• Gordian Quest
• I Am Your Beast
• Lara Croft: Guardian of Light
• Marvel Mystic Mayhem
• Monument Valley 3
• Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket
• Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
• Scattered Verse
• Shogun Showdown
• Songs of Conquest
• Squid Game: Unleashed
• Sunset Hills
• The Star Named EOS
• Thronefall
• What the Clash?

Quite an impressive lineup, isn’t it? As always, I'm relieved the final decision rests with you – choosing just one winner from this group would be a tough call. Then again, it doesn’t help that Dredge didn’t make the list. Shame on you! Just kidding, of course. The PG People's Choice Award is all about your voice, not mine.

When will we find out the winner?

Now that you know voting closes at midnight on July 31st, you might be wondering what comes next. When will the winner be announced? We’re hosting a stylish (or so I assume – it'll definitely be classy) awards ceremony on Tuesday, August 19th. Sharp-eyed readers will note that this aligns with Gamescom, so it’s no surprise the event will take place at the Gürzenich in Cologne. The results will be posted on our website shortly after, so no need to dress up if you prefer to follow along from home, like me.
