canadiangameawards.caHere’s the latest I can share about Canadian Game Awards as of now:
-
The Canadian Game Awards (CGA) have been highlighting both major Canadian titles and indie successes, with recent coverage noting nominations and winners across categories like Game of the Year, Best Debut Studio, and technology/innovation. For example, reporting around the 2025 CGAs highlighted Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Balatro among nominees, with Humberly González winning Best Performance in 2025 coverage. This shows ongoing recognition of a mix of AAA and indie Canadian projects at the CGAs.[1]
-
The CGA website and recent press materials point to ongoing annual events with live streams and in-person components, including an in-person ceremony at venues like the John Bassett Theatre in Toronto and related activities such as Eh! Game Expo where public play days accompany nominations. These sources indicate the CGAs’ efforts to engage both industry insiders and the gaming public in Canada’s scene.[2][3]
-
In 2026, nominees and winners have continued to be announced, with the CGAs listing categories such as Best PC Game and Best in Accessibility, suggesting an expanding scope that includes accessibility and broad platform representation. The CGA organizers also emphasize celebrating “Canada’s Gaming Excellence,” signaling a sustained national focus.[6][2]

For a snapshot of past context, CBC coverage from 2023-2025 highlights that Canada’s gaming industry has grown significantly, with Canadian studios like Tchia’s Awaceb earning recognition at global emblems of the industry, underscoring the CGAs’ role in spotlighting homegrown talent.[4]
