The main jury for the Deutscher Computerspielpreis (DCP; German Computer Games Award) is meeting in Berlin to make its decisions. The nominees are expected to be announced soon, while the winners will only be revealed at the gala in mid-May.

The countdown has begun for the Deutscher Computerspielpreis. On 12 and 13 March, the members of this year's main jury will convene at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs in Berlin. Under the leadership of Sabiha Ghellal, they will review the results of the expert jury session and make their final decisions.

The nominees for the DCP are expected to be announced in the near future. However, the winners and the distribution of the total prize money of €800,000 will not be revealed until the DCP show on 14 May in Berlin.

The DCP show will take place at the Palais am Funkturm and, as recently announced, will once again be hosted by the presenting duo Katrin Bauernfeind and Uke Bosse.
