Be happy, Black Myth: Wukong fans, because it is literally impossible for Astro Bot to win Game of the Year in the 2024 Steam Game Awards

The 2024 Steam Winter Sale is set to begin soon, marking the start of voting for the Steam Awards, where players nominate and vote for their favorite games. Key contenders this year include Balatro, Black Myth: Wukong, Stalker 2, and Helldivers 2, competing in multiple categories. While some nominations seem unusual, such as Elden Ring in the Labor of Love category, the player-driven nature of the awards makes the process engaging and dynamic. Voting opens on December 19 and closes on December 31, allowing changes up until the end. Participants receive a free Steam sticker for each vote cast.
