Best Ongoing Game

Specific eligibility:

  • The game must have been originally released prior to the Eligible Time Period.
  • The game must have received significant updates, new content, or live operations support during the Eligible Time Period. Eligible updates may include (but are not limited to): new gameplay content, features, events, expansions, technical improvements, or major community-driven changes. Remasters, re-releases, or ports without substantial new content, as well as Early Access titles, are not eligible.
  • The game must be operated by a Romanian studio or team (“Indie” or otherwise) leading the live operations and/or ongoing content development.
  • Each studio may submit a maximum of two entries in this category.

For this category, entries will be evaluated based on the quality, consistency, and impact of the ongoing content and updates delivered during the Eligible Time Period, as well as their effectiveness in engaging and retaining players, and the overall critical and market reception of the game during this period, relative to the scale of the project.
