While many anticipated winners took home awards, there were also some delightful surprises among the public's choices. This year has been exceptionally strong for mobile gaming, a fact clearly reflected in the impressive selection of winners.

This year's awards mark a significant milestone, showcasing the incredible growth of the mobile gaming industry since the inaugural Pocket Gamer Awards in 2010.
