GAM3 Awards 2025 Returns to Manila

After a successful debut in Manila last year, our GAM3 Awards are back in-person for 2025 at the YGG Play Summit, bringing together the world’s top web3 gaming talent, developers, and enthusiasts. Expect new categories, an expanded prize pool, and appearances from industry veterans spanning both traditional and web3 gaming.

Celebrating the Best in Web3 Gaming

The Philippines has long been a hub for web3 gaming, home to some of the most passionate communities and early adopters in the space. Last year, hosting the awards in Manila brought the excitement directly to the players who make these games thrive, and this year we’re raising the bar even higher.

Our GAM3 Awards for 2025 continues the mission of spotlighting the games, creators, and content leaders who push the boundaries of blockchain gaming. The awards honor titles based on criteria like core loop, accessibility, replayability, fun, graphics, and overall gameplay experience. Only games with a live, playable version are eligible, except for special categories such as Most Anticipated Game and People’s Choice Award.

The jury’s votes carry 90% weight in most categories, while the community contributes 10%, with exceptions for People’s Choice and Best Content Creator (100% community voting) and Games’ Choice Award (studio voting).
