Valve’s publicly voted Steam Awards are announced early in the New Year, which is the most sensible time to announce annual awards while also guaranteeing hardly anybody actually cares about them. If you’re not sick of hearing about how much other people like Clair Obscur by January, you must have the patience of a saint.
Fortunately, Clair Obscur didn’t win Game of the Year in the Steam Awards, though it did take the Best Soundtrack Award. Overall Game of the Year went to Hollow Knight: Silksong, which also won the Best Game You Suck At Award. (Games can be nominated in multiple categories now, and also you no longer need to own a game on Steam to vote for it.)
- Game of the Year: Hollow Knight: Silksong
- VR Game of the Year: The Midnight Walk
- Labor of Love: Baldur’s Gate 3
- Best Game on Steam Deck: Hades 2
- Better With Friends: Peak
- Outstanding Visual Style: Silent Hill F
- Most Innovative Gameplay: Arc Raiders
- Best Game You Suck At: Hollow Knight: Silksong
- Best Soundtrack: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- Outstanding Story-Rich Game: Dispatch
- Sit Back and Relax: RV There Yet?
