The inaugural Game Quality Awards will take place at Qualicon May 15-16, the annual online conference for game quality professionals.
On February 5th, we proudly announced the inaugural Game Quality Awards; an initiative aiming to celebrate and recognize excellence across the game quality discipline. With a focus on acknowledging outstanding achievements across various categories, the Game Quality Awards seek to honor individuals and teams who have made significant contributions to the field.
We want to say a big thank you to everyone who put forward their nominations, and to our industry judges Michelle Mangio (Epic Games), Pierre Jouen (Ubisoft) and Shelby Hall (EA), who volunteered their time to help narrow down all of the fantastic submissions into an official shortlist which we’re excited to reveal today!
