Meet the Finalists: Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards 2024 in association with Gamelight

It's a big year – and, if you're in the UK, week – for voting given that two major transatlantic elections have aligned with the Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards 2024 in association with Gamelight.

So it's easy to get a little lost amidst all the candidates, and as such we figured we'd gather all of the shortlisted nominations in one handy article to give you plenty of time to consider which game, studio, tool, service, or company to support before the July 22nd deadline. 

Once you've taken all of the below on board and decided which categories to add your voice to, simply head over to the voting page.
