Dutch Game Awards 2026 - Dutch Game Week

Which Dutch games and game developers deserve an award this year? During the Dutch Game Awards 2026, part of Dutch Game Week, the most innovative, creative and impressive achievements within the Dutch games industry are celebrated.

On Thursday 19 November, the Chassé Theater in Breda will provide the setting for this festive awards show, organised by the Dutch Games Association. With ten regular awards and four special prizes, there is plenty of attention for the diversity of the Dutch games world.

From the best game and the most promising student talent to impressive design, pioneering technology and remarkable stories: the Dutch Game Awards showcase just how much creativity and innovation can be found in the Dutch games industry. Games used in education and healthcare, for example, are also given a platform.

Alongside the prize-giving, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet other game developers, studios and professionals. The evening begins with a networking session, followed by the awards ceremony and a festive finale celebrating the winners.
