Here Are All the Winners from This Year's PlayStation Partner Awards in Japan 1

Earlier today, Sony held its annual PlayStation Partner Awards ceremony in Japan. The event is designed to recognise the output of third-parties and indies, with the platform holder handing out awards to recognise the titles which have contributed to the PS5’s success over the past year.

This has actually been an annual tradition ever since PS1 launched in 1994, so it’s quite a prestigious accolade.

It’s worth noting that only games developed in Japan and Asia are recognised here, with the exception of the Users’ Choice award.

Here are all the winners:

Grand Award

Recognises Japanese and Asian games with “outstanding worldwide sales” between October 2024 and September 2025.

Partner Award

Recognises Japanese and Asian games which “rank among the top in global sales” between October 2024 and September 2025.

Accessibility Award

Recognises Japanese and Asian games which have “achieved noteworthy results” in the field of accessibility between October 2024 and September 2025.

PlayStation Indies Award

Recognises Japanese and Asian games which “pay tribute to the diversity and creative endeavours of independent game creators” between October 2024 and September 2025.

Users’ Choice Award

Recognises the top five games from a panel of 30 as determined by the votes of gamers in Japan and Asia.
