Capcom dominated the Gamescom 2025 awards ceremony through Resident Evil Requiem's exceptional performance across multiple categories. The survival horror title claimed victories for Best Visuals, Best Audio, Most Epic Game, and Best Sony PlayStation Game. Independent jury members selected winners based on outstanding achievements in games, extensions, exhibitors, booths, merchandise, announcements, and trailers. Hela secured dual recognition by winning Most Entertaining and Most Wholesome awards. Anno 117 Pax Romana earned Best PC Game, while Ubisoft received Best Booth recognition for their exhibition space.
Public voting determined several award categories rather than jury selection. Hollow Knight Silksong captured the Best Trailer award through consumer preference. The Pokémon Company won Best Booth through public votes, while Star Birds Gacha Machine claimed Best Merch recognition. Additional platform winners emerged across various gaming systems, with Grounded 2 taking Best Microsoft Xbox Game and Mario Kart World securing Best Nintendo Switch 2 Game honors.
