BAFTA Games Awards updates voting requirements and entry fees as it opens entries for 2027 ceremony

Association has revised its AI policy alongside making several changes to its entry fees

Entries for the 2027 BAFTA Games Awards are now open, alongside updates to its entry requirements, fee structure, and AI policy.

The BAFTA Games Committee reviews eligibility criteria, voting, and campaigning rules annually. This year, the rulebook has been updated to clarify its approach to AI, as follows:

The Awards are presented annually to recognise, honour and reward individuals for outstanding human achievement in originating, shaping and realising the final artistic outcome, regardless of the tools used to bring this work to life. BAFTA is the arbiter of all category eligibility and reserves the right to request additional information regarding any entry, this could include:

The Evolving Game category will now be open to a member-wide vote in all rounds. Nominations and the winner will be determined by BAFTA's membership, which includes over 1,700 games professionals and industry juries.

BAFTA said this change will "enable a broader range of industry expertise and player perspectives ensuring the category remains relevant, robust and reflective of today's games landscape."

The eligibility window for the 2027 BAFTA Games Awards is for games released between November 15, 2025 and November 19, 2026.

Entries close on September 18 for games released between November 15, 2025 and July 31, 2026. For games released between August 1 and November 19, 2026, entries close on November 6.

The longlist will be announced on December 8, 2026. Nominations will be announced on March 11, 2027.

The BAFTA Games Awards 2027 will take place in London on April 14, 2027.
