The Steam Awards 2024 Nominees Announced
Steam Awards
The end of the year is upon us and as always that means a series of end-of-year awards and community events. The PC marketplace Steam has announced its own slate of nominees for The Steam Awards, its annual community-voted event. And as a special treat, voting can earn you a special Steam sticker for each of the 11 categories.
The categories range from the usual like Game of the Year and VR Game of the Year, to awarding continued support with the Labor of Love award, to recognizing chill vibes with the Sit Back and Relax award. Frontrunners in this year's awards include Black Myth Wukong, Balatro, Helldivers 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, with three nominations each.
Check out all the nominations below, and be sure to vote for your favorites on the Steam Awards page from December 19-31.
