That concludes the 2024 Steam Awards, and these are all of the winners across each category. It’s no surprise that Black Myth: Wukong has swept up a ton of awards, especially considering how well they’ve done for themselves in every other ceremony despite being a widely controversial game.
There are some surprising winners on this list, with games like Red Dead Redemption taking the best soundtrack when games such as Silent Hill 2 and Horizon Forbidden West were competitors in that category. However, Silent Hill 2 did net one award for the best visual style.
Despite the popularity of Balatro and the fact that the game was nominated in multiple categories, it didn’t win any awards at this particular ceremony. However, it has been successful in other ceremonies, such as The Game Awards, where it picked up a couple of awards and was even nominated for Game of the Year.
