These are the winners of the first ever Steam Awards!

“I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award”

This title didn’t have a huge marketing machine behind it, but you found it and loved it. Then you told your friends about it. And they loved it. And now that little game that could is about to win an award…

This award is for the game that is just as good today as the day you first played it.

Newer games may come out, but it doesn’t matter…

you’ll always come back to play this one.

You have an early day tomorrow. You need to get some sleep, so you’re just going finish one more thing before you decide to tuck in for the night.

What’s that you say? It’s 2:30 AM? This award is for the game that keeps you playing late.

Some games melt your face. Maybe it was a crazy plot twist. Maybe you just got your wisdom teeth removed.

Either way, this game BLOWS YOUR MIND.

Kinder Eggs. Peanut Butter Cups. Jelly Donuts. All great things stuffed with other great things.

Like a mighty turducken, this award celebrates the best mini game hidden within another game.

Games are fun. But sometimes games become more than that, and touch you in a way you weren’t expecting. This award celebrates the game that blindsided you emotionally.

Animals are rad and almost any game is better for including them. However this game used a farm animal in the best way possible.

Let’s face it: explosions are pretty great. In a blockbuster movie they’re thrilling. In a celebration with fireworks they’re beautiful. And when they’re behind a cop putting on sunglasses they’re nothing short of glorious.

“Games are just supposed to be fun!”… oh sweet summer child, your naivety is adorable. Games can be more than fun. They can be challenges that demand perfection. These games are punishing gauntlets that make you question your very skill… a crucible that will push you either to greatness or a breaking point. You will wake up family members as you scream. Words will come out of your mouth that would make your mom blush. Your chill friends will ask you “why do you play something that stresses you out”… and you will stare at them with steely eyes and reply, “Because I love it.”

Did you read the description for the “Love/Hate Relationship” Award? This is the opposite.

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 that gather friends to play these games.

For each day that you vote, you will get a Steam Awards Trading Card. You can get up to four trading cards on December 30 by voting for each of the four award categories.

Voting for each category is open for 24 hours, starting and ending at 10am Pacific Standard Time. A different award category is available for voting on each day. December 30 is special with four award categories being voted on simultaneously.

Eternal fame as winner of the first ever Steam Awards!

What can I do with a Steam Award Trading Card?

If you collect the full set of Steam Award Trading Cards, you can craft the cards into a Steam Award badge. This badge, and each additional level, earns you Steam XP.

What are all the ways I can get Steam Award Trading Cards?

You can see all your completed and in progress badges from your Badges page.

Can I craft the Steam Award Trading Cards into a badge after the sale is over?

You’ll be able to craft the Steam Awards badge until February 2nd.
