How the Steam Awards 2024 Are Organized – A Celebration Powered by Gamers
The Steam Awards, organized annually by Valve, are unlike any other video game award show. Instead of being judged by a panel of critics or industry insiders, the Steam Awards are driven entirely by the gaming community. Every year, millions of players around the world decide which games deserve to be recognized.
How does it work?
The awards take place at the end of each year, coinciding with the Steam Winter Sale. The process consists of three main stages:
- Nominations (late November – early December): Steam users nominate their favorite games for various award categories. This open phase empowers the community to shape the awards.
- Official shortlist announcement: Valve collects the most nominated games in each category and reveals five finalists for each award.
- Voting (late December): Users cast their final votes to determine the winners. The voting period usually ends on New Year’s Eve.
Each Steam user can nominate only one game per category, encouraging thoughtful decision-making and preventing spam nominations.
Why is the Steam Awards format loved?
The Steam Awards are more than just another year-end event — they’ve become a community tradition. What sets them apart is the complete absence of industry influence. There are:
- No judging panels.
- No secret deliberations.
- No corporate lobbying.
Just players. Just games.
This level of transparency has made the Steam Awards a fan-favorite format, with gamers feeling a genuine sense of ownership over the results. It reflects the real sentiment of the gaming community — not just what’s trending in media, but what people are truly enjoying, playing, and returning to throughout the year.
Moreover, the Steam Awards recognize a broad range of experiences, from story-driven adventures to VR experiments and cozy relaxation games. Everyone finds their space, and every kind of gamer has a voice.
