Michael Kellner, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action said this about the ceremony:

“I would like to congratulate all of the winners on their great games and the awards they have received. This year’s DCP particularly demonstrates the wide range and creativity of games developed in Germany. This enormous diversity and creativity must be expanded further, and the potential of the industry must be utilised even more. As the Federal Government, we want to make an important contribution to this through our new games funding. The funding is to help ensure that games such as this year’s best international game also go on to be developed in Germany.”

Felix Falk, Managing Director at game - the German Games Industry Association also said:

“The outstanding winning titles this year are an impressive demonstration of the great achievements that German game developers continue to produce. Once again, the German Computer Game Awards are proof of the creativity and innovative spirit of the German games industry, even in the difficult economic situation of recent months. Once again, we can see the huge potential of Germany as a location for the games industry, especially as this year there were more games made possible by federal funding than ever before. This shows that the right framework conditions unleash the true power of studios in Germany. Congratulations to the winners of the German Computer Game Awards 2024!”
