The awards ceremony began with the announcement of the winners at the Indie Dragon Awards. Third place went to the single player social deduction game Demon Bluff by UmiArt. Soft Crunch Games took the next spot on the podium with its cozy cooking sim Foxy Dumplings. The frist prize was awarded to DeadlyCrow Games, who attended the event with their stop motion narrative horror adventure Mutter.

Next up was a closely contested match between Cronos: The New Dawn and The Alters. The Alters, a sci-fi game that blends survival, adventure, and base building-elements, won awards in the categories of Best Polish Game Design and Best Polish Narrative. In Response, Cronos: The New Dawn also took home two awards: Best Polish Visual Game Art and Best Polish Game Audio. The time was ultimately decided in favor of Bloober Team’s survival horror game, which was named Best Polish Game of 2025.

As is customary every year, several additional awards were presented at Digital Dragons. In the mobile games category, #DRIVE Rally by Pixel Perfect Dude was named the best Polish game of last year. A Special Recognition Awards was also presented to an individual involved in the development of the gaming industry; this year’s recipient was Grzegorz Watroba, a gamer, programmer, and advocate for gaming knowledge on social media. An honorable mention was also awarded in the Best Foreign Game of 2025 category, which, to no one’s surprise, went to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

At the brief closing ceremony of this year’s Digital Dragons the following day, the Community Vote Award was also presented to an indie game from the Indie Zone that won the audience vote. This time, the title was awarded to Martial Law: Our Spring, the second second game in the Martial Law series from FIXER.
