How to watch Pocket Gamer Awards

The 12th Pocket Gamer Awards will be revealed on our YouTube channel on Thursday (February 5th) at 6 pm (GMT). It will be hosted by James Gilmour, who has revealed all our winners for the past few years. 

I have yet to watch past award shows myself, so I can't wait to hear his notorious "radio voice" I've been reading about! Get ready for a fun night that celebrates everything we love about mobile gaming, from passionate developers to obscure indie games to wholesome family games to competitive shooters. We love 'em all! 

But most of all, it celebrates the mobile gaming community. The gamers that try new games, chat on Reddit, read our reviews, and watch mobile esports tournaments. Mobile gaming is what it is today because of our passion, love, and support.
