That's right, it's time to talk about the best of the best again. Today we're announcing the Pocket Gamer Awards 2027 (that's our 13th edition), and that they'll be kicking off with the nominations phase next week on the 15th of October.
You probably already know how these things work, however, this year we've made a couple of fun little changes in the form of reformatting some of the award categories. Mobile gaming is, of course, always changing - as is the wider industry - and so we've made adjustments to suit.
We've also snuck in Best In-Game Collab. I'm sure that you've seen the dozens-upon-dozens of crossovers that have happened in the largest or longest-running mobile games; Things like the McDonalds & Monopoly Go crossover, the myriad of World Cup crossovers and the time that WWE wrestlers suddenly showed up in your clan base.
We've also swapped out Best Family Game - as we have plenty of genre categories - to bring in a Best Webshop category. That one might be a little confusing, as it's a little bit business-lingo, but if you've been buying your game currency through an official game website then you've been taking part in the Webshop revolution. It's become such a large thing that we actually launched a deals section here at Pocket Gamer earlier this year - all to help show you the best ways to safely save money when buying for mobile games.
And, finally, we've added in a long-requested award that celebrates one of the most important design elements of games: Best Mobile Game Character .
