At the BitT Awards ceremony on April 10, 2025, awards were presented for the best Slovak video games created in 2023 and 2024. After two years, Arcade Watch and the Slovak Game Developers Association once again awarded prizes for the best domestic video game production to highlight the highest quality digital games from Slovak creators.

The expert jury consisting of journalists, game developers, and personalities from the creative industries presented a total of 8 awards. The main prize for the best Slovak PC game went to the complex city-building strategy that simulates a planned economy, Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic by 3DIVISION, and the Best Mobile Game award went to TrainStation 3: Journey of Steel, a popular train management game from the well-known game series by Pixel Federation.

The Developers' Choice Awards were also presented, which were decided by the game developers themselves in a separate vote. In these categories, the historical satirical RPG Felvidek by creators Jozef Pavelka and Vlado Ganaj, and the educational game about family trauma caused by emigration Who is Helena? by Impact Games took the honors. The Players' Choice Award went to the locally well-known title Vivat Slovakia by Team Vivat.

The fact that Slovakia produces enough quality and diverse titles is also proven by awards in other categories. The award for Best Narrative went to Doublequote Studio for their extensive story-driven card RPG HeistGeist. The award for Best Sound Design and Music went to the retro-styled nostalgic adventure game Lost in the Void from the Nightcall group.

Domestic creators are not afraid to take on challenges related to the therapeutic potential of games. For an unconventional approach in video game development, the jury also recognized the virtual reality game ClaustrOFF by Gametherapy studio, which was designed by psychologists based on scientific research to treat claustrophobia through exposure therapy.
