In 2025, the Golden Tea Awards will mark their thirteenth year. Over the past thirteen years, the Chinese gaming industry has forged ahead through both opportunities and challenges. Countless game developers, wielding innovation as their sword and craftsmanship as their shield, have continued to write legendary chapters that have captured the world’s attention. Throughout these thirteen years, the Golden Tea Awards have borne witness to the industry’s development, opportunities, and challenges, becoming a key benchmark that has documented the rise of domestic games and recorded the industry’s defining moments.
The winners selected for this year’s Golden Tea Awards not only reflect the industry’s prosperity but also embody the spirit of our times. Some have set new industry standards through technological breakthroughs; others have expanded the industry’s boundaries through business innovation; still others have sparked the year’s most talked-about trends; and others have led the way in their respective market segments through their unique competitive advantages.
Spanning two months, this year’s Golden Tea Awards saw nearly 200 companies and 300 game projects compete for honors. Ahead of the grand ceremony kicking off on January 22, the Tea House is pleased to present the complete list of winners for the 13th Golden Tea Awards:
