The Steam Awards 2019 Winners

Game of the Year

Maybe it was its immersive gameplay, or its gripping story... its well-crafted characters, immaculate design, or addictive multiplayer. Whatever the reason, the winner of 2019's Game of the Year Award is an instant classic.

Nominees:

Sekiro (Winner)

Resident Evil 2 Remake

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Destiny 2

Devil May Cry 5

VR Game of the Year

When it comes to breaking new ground in games, there is no greater pace of advancement than in VR. If we had our way, all VR devs would get an award for building the future of immersive games and experiences unparalleled by any other medium. But since there’s only one trophy, it’s up to you, Steam Awards Selection Committee member, to crown just one as the best of 2019.

Nominees:

Beat Saber (Winner)

Blade & Sorcery

GORN

Borderlands 2 VR

Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted

Labor of Love

This game has been out for a while. The team is well past the first unveiling of their creative baby, but being the good parents they are, these devs continue to nurture and support their creation. This game, to this day, is still getting new content after all these years.

Nominees:

Warframe

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Grand Theft Auto 5 (Winner)

DOTA 2

Better With Friends

There are some games out there that just aren't the same when you play by yourself. Maybe you need to have a friend to watch your back. Maybe you need to have a friend that you can stab in their back. Either way, mirth is awaiting those who gather friends to play these games.

Nominees:

Risk of Rain 2

DOTA Underlords

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

Ring of Elysium

DayZ (Winner)

Most Innovative Gameplay

This game is at the front lines of experimentation, pushing the boundaries of the medium with exciting, novel interactions and brain-breaking surprises. This game thinks outside the box, and pulls you out with it!

Nominees:

Baba is You

Slay the Spire

My Friend Pedro (Winner)

Oxygen Not Included

Planet Zoo

Outstanding Story-Rich Game

Some days, only a narrative-heavy game will hit the spot, and this one packs a wallop. It's as gripping as any soap opera, and as well-tuned as a prestige-TV screenplay. Bravissimo -- for making us feel things!

Nominees:

A Plague Tale: Innocence (Winner)

Disco Elysium

Far Cry New Dawn

Gears 5

GreedFall

Best Game You Suck At

Games have a way of pushing us past any limits we thought we had. Like a montage sequence, we put in work, training our fingers to be quick and nimble, mastering timing and placement over weeks and weeks. At the end of the gauntlet, we're rewarded with profound beauty and a deep sense of personal growth. Unless you hurled your monitor through a plate-glass window on the first day.

Nominees:

MORDHAU

Code Vein

Hunt: Showdown

Remnant: From the Ashes

Mortal Kombat 11 (Winner)

Outstanding Visual Style

These devs are the Willy Wonka of eye candy. Visual style doesn't aspire to real-world graphical fidelity (though a noble goal in itself)… it describes a distinctive look and feel that suffuses an entire game. This game displays visual cohesion and expression that not only fit the game's world, but make our world look paltry by comparison.

Nominees:

GRIS (Winner)

Total War: Three Kingdoms

Astroneer

Katana Zero

Subnautica: Below Zero
