What games from this year are your favourite?
Each year Steam holds a user voted awards event, celebrating the best games of the past twelve months — the voting period for 2024 has just opened up.
All of the nominees were chosen during the Steam Autumn Sale, and now — during the Steam Winter Sale — folks can select their favourites and help crown the winners for the year that was.
There's a variety of categories, covering things such as best soundtrack, VR, innovation, visual style, story, and more. The two biggies that we'll be keeping an eye on? The Game of the Year Award, and the Best Game on Steam Deck Award.
The nominees for each of those two categories are as follows:
The 2024 Steam Awards Nominees:
