In 2015 the competition added the category Best Diversity Effort as a result of their co-operation with Diversi to reflect the games industry's increasing interest in variation of its developers and consumers.

The final day of the competition also had its first livestream on YouTube by cooperating with students of Medieinstitutet to make the announcement of the winners available directly to the public.

In its 13th year, the Swedish Game Awards continues annually to draw greater numbers of entries from student-development teams across Sweden.

The competition submissions are developed by independent teams during the year, culminating in a Jury Weekend and Grand Finale party in late May.

During the tour, representatives from the Swedish Game Awards visit universities and technical schools across the country to engage with competition participants.
