The Indie Game Awards 2025
Built on a foundation of genuine collaboration, the IGAs aim to unite voices from across the indie scene including games media, content creators, gaming showcases, and industry professionals. New for 2025 are specialized categories curated by our partners at the Latin American Games Showcase, Southeast Asian Games Showcase, Black Voices in Gaming, Frosty Games Fest, and Playtopia Festival. Alongside a wide range of general categories, returning core categories include Industry Impact and The Mohammad Fahmi Storyteller Award. Among the new core additions is Indie Trendsetters, a category recognizing five independent developers just starting their journeys with bold debut projects, game jams, or demos.
Additionally, the wider indie community will get a chance to weigh in with fan voting on genre-specific categories opening this November. The inaugural ceremony surpassed 100,000 views across all platforms and was met with universal praise for its heartfelt focus on the people behind the games we all love. At the heart of the ceremony are the developers themselves, whose creativity and contributions to the gaming world remain the core focus. That same spirit continues in 2025, as the IGAs further expand to spotlight a more global and diverse range of voices.
