Black Myth: Wukong continued its GOTY streak at the Steam Awards

Valve has announced the winners of the 2024 Steam Awards, voted on by fans during Steam’s Winter Sale event. Black Myth: Wukong triumphed in the Game of the Year category, as with virtually every fan-voted GOTY award on the calendar.

Black myth defeated fellow finalists Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, STALKER 2, BalatroAnd Hell divers 2 to win the Steam Audience Grand Prize.

Elsewhere at the Steam Awards, Elden Ring won the Labor of Love award for an older game that continues to receive substantial updates (after the release of the critically acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree extension). God of war Ragnarök was named Best Game on Steam Deck, and Hell divers 2 won the Better With Friends Award for multiplayer games. Online bluffing game Liar bar won the most innovative gameplay, Farming simulator 25 won the Sit Back and Relax Award for chill gaming, and Black Myth: Wukong received additional awards for Outstanding Story-Rich Game and Best Game You Suck At. (The Steam Awards categories are fun.)

It’s far from over in gaming’s upside-down awards season: 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 Game Science developers still have a few more chances to find the recognition they clearly crave.
