It’s been two weeks since the Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards 2021, supported by Game Insight, took place live in London.
The event followed a hybrid live/digital format, with the live element held at London’s sophisticated Ham Yard Hotel.
The ceremony saw 22 categories representing aspects of the entire industry ecosystem, from games developers and publishers to tools companies, service providers, support agencies, investors and recruiters, all of which contribute towards this sector being the largest and most pervasive in gaming.
For each category, there could only be one winner. With the exception of the Rising Star and Mobile Legend awards, both of which are decided by the Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards Committee, the categories were voted for by our largest panel of industry judges and recognised the hard work of the teams and individuals that shone over the whole of last year.
Meanwhile, the Pocket Gamer People’s Choice Award was in the hands of mobile players themselves, with voting taking place throughout the whole of June.
Now the question is, who won?
