Digital Dragons Awards

Meet the winners of the most prestigious games industry awards in Poland

Digital Dragons Awards Gala

On 18 May, we will discover the best Polish games of 2025. The oldest and most prestigious awards in the Polish game industry — the Digital Dragons Awards — will be presented in Kraków during a ceremonial gala, broadcast live by GRYOnline.pl and tvgry.

The iconic dragon egg statuettes will be awarded in seven categories: Best Polish Game, Best Polish Game Design, Best Polish Game Visual Art, Best Polish Game Audio, Best Polish Narrative, Best Polish Mobile Game, and Best Foreign Game. The gala will also reveal the recipient of the Special Recognition Award, presented to a person who has made an outstanding contribution to Polish gamedev, as well as the winners of the Indie Dragons Awards, recognising the most interesting independent projects showcased at the conference.

The gala will be hosted by Karol Modzelewski — a well-known comedian, stand-up performer, and presenter. The audience will also enjoy a performance by Brunon Lubas, composer, sound designer, and multi-instrumentalist, known among others for the soundtrack to The Invincible, which received a Digital Dragons Award in 2024.
