What the Car? picks up the Best Mobile Game award at Gamescom Latam 2024

Gamescom Latam 2024 Crowns "What the Car?" Best Mobile Game

Gamescom Latam, the inaugural gaming event held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, successfully showcased Latin America's burgeoning gaming scene and celebrated global industry achievements. A key highlight was the game awards ceremony, presented in partnership with the BIG Festival.

The awards featured 13 categories, with finalists selected by a 49-judge panel. All nominees were playable on the show floor, a refreshing inclusion of mobile titles alongside PC games, demonstrating the growing importance of the mobile gaming market.

The coveted "Best Mobile Game" award went to Triband ApS's "What the Car?", a deserving winner. This recognition follows earlier praise in an article highlighting lesser-known but exceptional games.
