With Oku, A Webbing Journey, OrbiTower, Incredibug and Imprinted, five brand new games won the GG Awards at GG Bavaria 2026. Digital Minister Fabian Mehring presented the community choice award and gave out game certificates to the Level Up Accelerator participants.
On Sunday, GG Bavaria in Munich presented the GG Awards 2026, their own award show on the main stage of the entertainment hall. Moderated by Laura Peters, five categories of games were awarded to games that were playable on site.
The last category, the Cosmic Choice award given through popular vote, was handed over by Bavarian Digital Minister Fabian Mehring, who had been at the fair on Sunday for a press tour and several stage points. Mehring announced his tripled pleasure, because the team that got the award for their game Incredibug, Memory Forge, did not only receive funding for the game from FFF Bayern and was part of the Level Up Accelerator started under Mehring, but is also from his home county Augsburg.
The only game award that did not stay in Bavaria went to the southern neighborhood: to Fire Totem Games in Austria for their viral spider game A Webbing Journey.
Mehring used the momentum of the award presentation to present another honouring to a bunch of Bavarian studios: He gave out the certificates for the second round of the Level Up Accelerator to the participating studios. These included Magic Pigeon Games, Memory Forge, Favorite Ice Cream Studios, Alexander Mrohs, CommuniCat Studios, RocketMind, Spicy Sushi Games, Wegfreund Games, Noah Lederer and Laurin Schürer.
