Absolutely — and thank you for highlighting the importance of the PG Mobile Games Awards and, in particular, the People's Choice Award. It’s fantastic to see that mobile gamers aren’t just passive players, but active contributors to shaping the industry’s recognition of excellence.

The fact that the public gets to nominate their favorite mobile game from the past year — and that the final winner is decided by fellow players — is a powerful testament to the community’s influence. It’s not just about the biggest names or the most polished graphics; it’s about games that truly connected with players on a personal level — whether through innovation, storytelling, gameplay, or lasting impact.

Here’s a quick recap of what you’re inviting players to do:
