After a period of open voting to select the nominees for the 2024 edition of the Steam Awards, results are in. Five finalists have been selected for each one of the 11 categories, and another round of open voting will select the winners. You can vote for your favorite among the finalists in each category from Dec. 19, 2024 to Dec. 31, 2024. Each vote grants a special sticker. Steam Awards 2024 categories Game of the Year VR Game of the Year Labor of Love Best Game on Steam Deck Better with Friends Outstanding Visual Style Most Innovative Gameplay Best Game You Suck at Best Soundtrack Outstanding Story-rich Game Sit Back and Relax These are the exact same categories as the 2023 edition. Sometimes, things change a bit from one year to another, but this time, all the categories remain the same. Sit Back and Relax award nominees This category awards the titles you're most likely to pick when you need to unwind after a long day. Simulation and puzzle-y, cozy games are usually found here. House Flipper 2 Tiny Glade Farming Simulator 25 TCG Card Shop Simulator Webfishing Outstanding Story-rich award nominees These are games you don't just play for the mechanics, though they may come in a variety of genres. These are the ones you pick when you want to immerse yourself in a story. Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl Ghost of Tsushima Black Myth: Wukong Mouthwashing Final Fantasy XVI Best Soundtrack award nominees This category awards the best OST and score out there. Good music can be a key factor to enhance the immersion and quality of your gaming experience, and players know it. Frostpunk 2 Silent Hill 2 Fate\/stay Night Remastered Horizon: Forbidden West Red Dead Redemption Best Game You Suck at award nominees These games aren't easy to master. If anything, you also deserve a trophy for beating them. The level of challenge that developers were able to create is awarded here. Tekken 8 Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero THE FINALS Ghost of Tsushima Black Myth: Wukong Most Innovative Gameplay award nominees Sometimes, it might seem rare to encounter a title that offers a fresh perspective on how games work. That and creative innovation are the main qualities of the finalists in this category. Satisfactory Helldivers 2 Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl Balatro Liar's Bar Outstanding Visual Style award nominees When it comes to games, art is meant to be the visual representation of the world created by the developers. It can accentuate features like nostalgia, suspense, coziness, and so many others. And that is true for the finalists here. Plus, they just look really good. Hades 2 Nine Sols Silent Hill 2 Neva Metaphor: ReFantazio Better with Friends award nominees Yeah, sure, it's good to play games alone. But some of them are just better with friends, whether as a team fighting enemies or facing one another in a match. These are the public's favorites in that category. Satisfactory Helldivers 2 Sons of the Forest Palworld Space Marine 2 (Warhammer 40,000) Best Game on Steam Deck award nominees For players who managed to get their hands on a Steam Deck, one distinctive quality of a game is when you just want to take it anywhere you go\u2014and they are still just as good as they were on your gaming PC. Hades 2 Rogue Trader (Warhammer 40,000) Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor God of War Ragnar\u00f6k Balatro Labor of Love award nominees This category is dedicated to games that were not released in 2024, but developers still work to bring regular content updates and make sure players keep going back to it. Dota 2 No Man's Sky Stardew Valley Baldur's Gate 3 Elden Ring VR Game of the Year award nominees Games in this category are the ones that really took advantage of the VR format to bring a new level of immersion to players. Blade and Sorcery Davigo: VR vs. PC Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2 Metro Awakening Maestro Game of the Year award nominees And finally, the grand prize. There is no rule for what makes a Game of the Year. We know there are plenty of excellent games out there, and it really comes down to the taste of the voters, or which title managed to connect better to most of the audience.

After a period of open voting to select the nominees for the 2024 edition of the Steam Awards, results are in. Five finalists have been selected for each one of the 11 categories, and another round of open voting will select the winners. You can vote for your favorite among the finalists in each category from Dec. 19, 2024 to Dec. 31, 2024. Each vote grants a special sticker. Steam Awards 2024 categories Game of the Year VR Game of the Year Labor of Love Best Game on Steam Deck Better with Friends Outstanding Visual Style Most Innovative Gameplay Best Game You Suck at Best Soundtrack Outstanding Story-rich Game Sit Back and Relax These are the exact same categories as the 2023 edition. Sometimes, things change a bit from one year to another, but this time, all the categories remain the same. Sit Back and Relax award nominees This category awards the titles you're most likely to pick when you need to unwind after a long day. Simulation and puzzle-y, cozy games are usually found here. House Flipper 2 Tiny Glade Farming Simulator 25 TCG Card Shop Simulator Webfishing Outstanding Story-rich award nominees These are games you don't just play for the mechanics, though they may come in a variety of genres. These are the ones you pick when you want to immerse yourself in a story. Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl Ghost of Tsushima Black Myth: Wukong Mouthwashing Final Fantasy XVI Best Soundtrack award nominees This category awards the best OST and score out there. Good music can be a key factor to enhance the immersion and quality of your gaming experience, and players know it. Frostpunk 2 Silent Hill 2 Fate\/stay Night Remastered Horizon: Forbidden West Red Dead Redemption Best Game You Suck at award nominees These games aren't easy to master. If anything, you also deserve a trophy for beating them. The level of challenge that developers were able to create is awarded here. Tekken 8 Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero THE FINALS Ghost of Tsushima Black Myth: Wukong Most Innovative Gameplay award nominees Sometimes, it might seem rare to encounter a title that offers a fresh perspective on how games work. That and creative innovation are the main qualities of the finalists in this category. Satisfactory Helldivers 2 Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl Balatro Liar's Bar Outstanding Visual Style award nominees When it comes to games, art is meant to be the visual representation of the world created by the developers. It can accentuate features like nostalgia, suspense, coziness, and so many others. And that is true for the finalists here. Plus, they just look really good. Hades 2 Nine Sols Silent Hill 2 Neva Metaphor: ReFantazio Better with Friends award nominees Yeah, sure, it's good to play games alone. But some of them are just better with friends, whether as a team fighting enemies or facing one another in a match. These are the public's favorites in that category. Satisfactory Helldivers 2 Sons of the Forest Palworld Space Marine 2 (Warhammer 40,000) Best Game on Steam Deck award nominees For players who managed to get their hands on a Steam Deck, one distinctive quality of a game is when you just want to take it anywhere you go\u2014and they are still just as good as they were on your gaming PC. Hades 2 Rogue Trader (Warhammer 40,000) Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor God of War Ragnar\u00f6k Balatro Labor of Love award nominees This category is dedicated to games that were not released in 2024, but developers still work to bring regular content updates and make sure players keep going back to it. Dota 2 No Man's Sky Stardew Valley Baldur's Gate 3 Elden Ring VR Game of the Year award nominees Games in this category are the ones that really took advantage of the VR format to bring a new level of immersion to players. Blade and Sorcery Davigo: VR vs. PC Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2 Metro Awakening Maestro Game of the Year award nominees And finally, the grand prize. There is no rule for what makes a Game of the Year. We know there are plenty of excellent games out there, and it really comes down to the taste of the voters, or which title managed to connect better to most of the audience.
