Gamescom 2025 is wrapping up this weekend, but the winners of the annual Gamescom Awards have already been named. This year’s biggest winner was Resident Evil Requiem, which took home four awards, including Best Sony PlayStation Game.
There were some surprises along the way–including the winner of the inaugural Best Nintendo Switch 2 Game–and there were surprise winners among the indie titles like Windup’s Hela, which won two awards against stiff competition from more established games like Donkey Kong Bananza.
To be considered for Gamescom Awards, publishers pay to nominate their games in one or more categories. However, the actual awards are chosen by a jury that evaluates each title across multiple criteria, including graphics, gameplay, and innovation.
This year’s Gamescom opening night had a number of new announcements and trailers, and there may be more to come in the show’s remaining two days.
For now, we’ve put together a complete list of the 2025 Gamescom Awards with all categories and nominees. The winners are listed in bold.
