2024’s award season rolls on as the finalists for The Steam Awards 2024 have been announced. Unlike what we saw from this year’sThe Game Awards, The Steam Awards focuses solely on titles available on, you guessed it: Steam.

The event is entirely user voted, so it’s up to the fans to decide which games will be victorious. Voting begins during the Steam Winter Sale, starting on Thursday, December 19th, at 1:00 PM EST. Voting will conclude on December 31st at 1:00 PM Eastern.
