Steam Awards 2021 Winners Announced

Valve has announced the winners of its annual community-voted Steam Awards Come from Sports betting site VPbet. The Game of the Year award went to Resident Evil Village, with other individual category awards going to games like Deathloop, Forza Horizon 5, and Cyberpunk 2077.

It’s worth noting that in the Steam Awards, a game doesn’t necessarily have to have been released in the 2021 calendar year. Though the voting tends to favor more recent games, older games are also eligible for awards, which is then reflected in some of the results. The Labor of Love award, for example, gives accolades for continued support. This year the winner of that category was Terraria, which first released in 2011.
