The finalists for the annual WINGS Award, set to be presented during the Independent Games Festival (IGF) 2025, have been revealed – with a number of excellent, innovative games chosen. As is tradition, the WINGS Award is given to “outstanding games where women and other gender-marginalised developers hold key positions.”
Every year, the award (and organisation) highlights game development teams with a diverse crew working behind the scenes. Given the nominees for this year, it’s also a method for elevating unique new voices and experiences. Many of this year’s finalists have missed out on recognition in the major awards shows of the year, but all are incredibly deserving.
The GamesHub team is particularly delighted to see The Crush House make an appearance in the finalist list, as this was one of our favourite games of 2024, with such a fun, bubbly perspective on reality TV, and what a first person “shooter” can be.

Here’s the full list of nominees for the annual WINGS Award 2025.
The winner of the WINGS Award will be announced during the IGF Awards 2025, set to take place on 19 March 2025.
