So here's a rundown of all the winners and categories

Grand Prix here is essentially the Indie Game Award equivalent of winning Game of the Year. The judges felt like Minds Beneath Us presented the best all-around game, with an excellent storyline, characters, and soundtrack creating an "exceptional atmosphere".

This was the first year that Xbox was involved in the Indie Game Award, with a representative serving on the panel of judges, alongside various other companies such as Sony and IGN Japan. Shuhei Yoshida was also present, the former Head of Indies at Sony Interactive Entertainment.

If you happen to be at the Taipei Game Show, then all winning titles will be showcased and available for demo at the Indie Game Award 2025 Winner Pavilion, located within the Indie House of the B2C Zone.
