Voting opens for PG People's Choice Award 2025

Voting is now live for the Pocket Gamer People's Choice Award 2025 after weeks of nominations. Our community submitted incredible suggestions, and we've narrowed them down to twenty outstanding finalists. If your favorite 2024 game made the list – fantastic! But the real work begins now. The voting window closes at midnight on July 31st, so cast your ballot (and maybe rally some friends) to help your pick claim victory.

Missed the nomination phase? No worries! You'll likely spot some of your favorite recent games in our curated shortlist 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?

An impressive lineup, wouldn't you agree? As always, I'm relieved the final decision rests with you – choosing just one from this stellar selection would be impossible. (Though I must cheekily note Dredge's absence from nominations. Tsk tsk! Don't mind me – this award reflects your preferences, not mine.)

When will we find out the winner?

Now that you know the July 31st voting deadline, what happens next? Mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 19th, when we'll reveal the winners during our (hopefully glamorous) awards ceremony. Sharp-eyed observers will note this aligns perfectly with Gamescom – we'll be celebrating at Cologne's historic Gürzenich venue. For those preferring to enjoy the results from home (no judgment here!), we'll publish the complete winners' list on our website shortly after the event.
