"Computer games are a fundamental driver of digitalization. The Free State of Bavaria has therefore been sustainably promoting the establishment of new studios and the development of games for years. The German Computer Game Award is a great stage to honor the outstanding games of the year and the creative teams behind the games. We are therefore delighted that the 2022 award ceremony will once again be held locally in Munich and are keeping our fingers crossed for all the nominees," said Minister of State Judith Gerlach. The Bavarian State Ministry for Digital Affairs is sponsoring the German Computer Game Award 2022.

Following last year`s success, the 2022 pre-show will once again provide an entertaining and informative warm-up to the big award ceremony.
