  This year’s Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards winners were announced during an exclusive ceremony on April 5th at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly, London. The global games industry gathered for an evening of celebration to highlight and champion the very best business and individuals who are driving the $90 billion mobile games industry forward.


Steel Media CEO Chris James presented a total of 23 categories throughout the evening and was understandably excited and enthused about the current state of the mobile games industry: “Whilst everything Steel Media does is designed to champion and advance the incredible mobile games industry, the Mobile Games Awards is our most focused celebration of the very very best companies, games and individuals of the previous 12 months. Considering how huge the mobile gaming business has become (over half the global games revenues in 2021), that is an increasingly challenging task and even being nominated in these circumstances suggests you're doing something incredible. However, to be voted for by your peers as a winner in one of the 23 categories is naturally even more remarkable. A huge congratulations to all the winners (and indeed to all the nominees) and a heartfelt thanks - please do keep doing what you're doing!”.
