Today, the six nominees for the EE Mobile Game of The Year Award have been announced ahead of the British Academy (BAFTA) Games Awards on Thursday, April 2

Now in its second year, the award celebrates the mobile games offering the best experience on a smartphone as voted for by the public.

From Pokémon GO to Call of Duty: Mobile, the 2020 nominees consist of six games that have each created a standout impression upon the games industry. Though the games were selected by a special panel at BAFTA's headquarters earlier this year, game fans get to vote for the winner themselves here.

Speaking about the launch of the 2020 award, Pete Jeavons, director of brand marketing at EE, said: “The popularity of the award last year has shown the huge appetite the UK has for mobile games. As the UK’s biggest and fastest network, and with our launch of 5G since the last awards offering even faster speeds and lower latency, we play a crucial role in providing players with the best possible mobile gaming experience.“

Here are the EE Mobile Game of The Year nominees.
