For the first time since 2018, Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder will attend the German Computer Game Award this year. Federal Commissioner Michael Kellner is also scheduled for a laudation speech.

Although election campaigns for the Bavarian state level are over, this years German Computer Game Awards (DCP) 2024 will see the return of Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder to the stage. Söder had been at DCP six years ago, when he awarded the title of Best German Game to Hamburg studio Barrel Roll Games for Witch It.

He’ll not be the only Bavarian politician on stage: Digital Minister Fabian Mehring is also announced to attend.

From the Federal level, Michael Kellner, Parlamentarian Secretary of Games Minister Robert Habeck and Federal Commissioner for the Cultural and Creative Industry, will hold a laudation speech as well.
