Valve has announced the winners of the 2024 Steam Awards, voted for by fans during Steam\u2019s Winter Sale event. Black Myth: Wukong<\/a><\/em> triumphed in the Game of the Year category, as it has in virtually every fan-voted GOTY award in the calendar.<\/p>\n

Black Myth<\/em> beat fellow finalists Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2<\/em>, STALKER 2<\/em>, Balatro<\/em>, and Helldivers 2<\/em> to take the top prize from the Steam audience.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s further proof that Game Science\u2019s action epic, the first AAA-style game to emerge from a Chinese developer, has the most activated fanbase of any of 2024\u2019s games. Its roll started when it claimed the title of Ultimate Game of the Year at the fan-voted Golden Joystick Awards<\/a> in the U.K., and continued with wins in the Players\u2019 Voice category at the 2024 Game Awards<\/a> and IGN\u2019s Community Awards<\/a>. It has won fan-voted awards in Spain<\/a>, Croatia<\/a>, Turkey<\/a>, and Brazil<\/a>, proving its immense international reach.<\/p>\n

Although fairly well-regarded overall, Black Myth <\/em>hasn\u2019t scored so well<\/a> with critics as with players, and its producer expressed some frustration<\/a> at its failure to triumph in The Game Awards\u2019 Game of the Year<\/a> category. But it seems its legion of admirers isn\u2019t done celebrating it yet.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere at the Steam Awards, Elden Ring<\/em> won the Labor of Love award for an older game still receiving substantial updates (after the release of its acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree<\/em> expansion). God of War Ragnar\u00f6k<\/em> was named Best Game on Steam Deck, and Helldivers 2<\/em> won the Better With Friends Award for multiplayer games. Online bluffing game Liar\u2019s Bar<\/em> won Most Innovative Gameplay, Farming Simulator 25 <\/em>picked up the Sit Back and Relax Award for chill gaming, and Black Myth: Wukong<\/em> picked up additional awards for Outstanding Story-Rich Game and Best Game You Suck At. (The Steam Awards\u2019 categories are fun.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s far from all over in gaming\u2019s upside-down awards season \u2014 The Game Awards may be behind us, but the BAFTA Games Awards, DICE Awards, and Game Developers Choice Awards are all still to come. So the developers at Game Science still have a few more chances to find the recognition they obviously crave.<\/p>\n
