The highly successful and well-attended Opening Night Live Show was just one of the highlights of Gamescom 2024. Another highly anticipated event was the Award Show, which showcased upcoming titles and brought attention to them.
The Gamescom Award Show stands out from others that take place throughout the year. Rather than focusing on Game of the Year or the Joystick Awards, Gamescom instead recognizes games that are yet to be released. This tradition remains unchanged in 2024.
Whether you’re interested in tuning in or simply want to know who has been nominated, we have all the information you need listed below. As the winners are announced, we will continually update this page, so don’t forget to save it and check back later.
