As the end of the year approaches, Valve has revealed the winners of the 2024 Steam Awards, including surprises and some certainly well-deserved winners!
Discover the list of winners of the Steam Awards 2023
With the start of the new year, we also have the list of Steam Awards Winners 2024. The Steam Awards were launched in 2016 with a bit of a mocking tone. But over the years, with increasing player numbers and dissatisfaction with more prestigious awards, the Steam Awards have become more respected.
This became especially true with the recent The Game Awards 2024, where the gamer vote was only a measly 10%. While the jury, often made up of members who were not specialized or linked in any way to the field of video games, held 90% of the vote.
Steam Awards 2024 winners by category
Game of the Year Award, Best Game You Suck At Award et Outstanding Story-Rich Game Award: Black Myth Wukong
An undeniable big addition of this year and for many the face of 2024. Despite the fierce competition for the GOTY spot, Black Myth Wukong delivered one of the most fun games of the year. By winning no less than 3 prizes, with a very interesting story based on the famous novel Le Voyage en Ouest. And as an action game, a real challenge.
The VR experience offered by Metro Awakening seems to have taken over. Offering an original story set in the beloved world of Dmitrij Gluchovskij's Metro. Takes us back to the underground tunnels of Moscow in 2028, playing as Doctor Serdar. Delivering atmosphere, dangers and mysteries from the series in a VR experience.
Labor of Love Award: Elden Ring
With the anticipation of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, many have returned to Elden Ring. The newest soulslike adventure from FromSoftware and winner of the 2022 Goty. Offering an excuse for many to try out the original chapter for the first time. And for many, coming back to face the new features of the expansion, with a new area, enemies and a new story to reveal.
With a category dedicated to Valve's Steam Deck, Kratos' latest adventure takes the prize. Delivering a fantastic handheld experience at 30fps at medium-low settings at native resolution. Or for those looking for the 40fps achievable with FSR 3.1 and mainly low settings. With a game that remains visually impressive, without lacking constant fluidity.
Better With Friends Award: Helldivers 2
With an explosive launch in February 2024, Helldivers 2 continues to be one of the most fun PvE games. With an extremely ambitious game and sequel that took the series towards a third-person shooter. Despite some of Playstation's decisions, Helldivers remains one of the best titles of 2024, and certainly with co-op friends.
Outstanding Visual Style Award: SILENT HILL 2
Bloober Team SA's remake of the second chapter of the Silent Hill series. One of Konami's most beloved series entrusted to a team clearly experienced in the horror genre. But many were not convinced, but fortunately we witnessed the opposite. With a game that managed to capture all the spooky atmosphere of the original with visual solidity.
Most Innovative Gameplay Award: Liar’s Bar
The unique offering from the indie team at Curve Animation, with a 4-player multiplayer experience. Set in a disreputable bar, we will play a dangerous card game with very high stakes. Where lies and deception will rule. With simple but certainly very unique gameplay.
A title certainly surprising for the category, but which says a lot about the audio quality of the first Red Dead Redemption. Which, for many, turns out to be more polished and memorable than the already solid RDR2. Not forgetting a mix of Spaghetti Western style music, but also background music perfect for many occasions. All with an interesting story and beloved protagonist John Marston.
The new edition of the essential simulation series from Giants Software. A series that immerses us in country life like a real modern farmer. With new vehicles, options and additions that have surprisingly seen a boom in interest even among new players. Reaching more than 2 million copies sold in one week. A fantastic game to relax even in cooperation.
In conclusion on the Steam Awards 2024
In short, a list of winners certainly well deserved with a few surprises. With a well-deserved GOTY for Black Myth Wukong, but also many quality games appearing in the nominations. Which clearly announces a 2024 full of new developments in the field of video games. And a 2025 that is already very competitive and full of new games and highly anticipated sequels.
