The winners of The Steam Awards 2023 were announced yesterday, but a few of the victors have called the value of the fan vote into question.

Steam has unveiled the winners of its annual fan-voted awards. Headlining the categories is the Game of the Year award, which predictably went to Baldur’s Gate 3. The RPG was up against Hogwarts Legacy, EA Sports FC 24, Resident Evil 4, and Lethal Company. Baldur’s Gate 3 also managed to walk away with the Outstanding Story-Rich Game award, where it was in competition with Lies of P, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Resident Evil 4, and Love Is All Around.

The player-voted Steam Awards have reached their conclusion, and the results are about as weird as the nominees. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the weirdest game possible won in several categories, such as Red Dead Redemption 2 for the Labor Of Love award and Starfield for "Most Innovative Gameplay".

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s director has cited The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as a “baseline” for the upcoming JRPG.

Originally released for PC in 2014, is an incredibly challenging but fun indie rhythm-based action platformer developed by one person. Typically, the game is pretty cheap at only $3.99 on the Steam Store, but during the Steam Winter Sale, the game is 50 percent off at just $1.99. Not only that, but the sole developer has just released a new content update to the title, adding new levels and enhancements even for those who have played in the past.

It's that time of year again — the 2023 Steam Awards have kicked off their voting! Started in 2016, the Steam Awards have been an annual event in which the players themselves vote on the best game in a number of different categories such as: the «Better with Friends» Award, the «Choices Matter» Award, the «Best Game You Suck At» Award, and the «Labor of Love» Award. Each year the categories change slightly, with this year's addition being the Best Game on Steam Deck Award, which includes Diablo 4 in the list of player voted nominees! Developers of the games chosen to receive an award in their respective categories will receive a Steam Awards trophy, but any players who vote will also receive a gift as well. Those who vote in each of the 11 categories on Steam will unlock special stickers from each category voted on to use on the platform! In order to cast your vote, you must be a registered Steam user.

It’s the time of year, folks. The Steam Winter Sale for 2023 is now live, offering some hefty discounts on thousands of games on the Steam store. For me, it’s usually when I pick up titles I didn’t have a chance to play throughout the year but definitely wanted to at some point. After all, not often is there a better discount than what we see with the Steam Winter Sale, at least anytime soon.

The big year-ender is here, as the 2023 Steam Winter Sale is now underway. And you know what that means: Deep discounts on thousands of games, free stickers, and the start of voting for the 2023 Steam Awards.

If you're plugged into the world of gaming, you will have heard of the Steam Deck by now, even if you didn't know there was also an amped-up OLED version available to buy.

Lethal Company has enjoyed enormous success since it launched just a couple of months ago. From smashing its player record not long after releasing to being the top-selling game on Steam (where it still sits), it’s been quite the journey for indie developer Zeekerss. Now, the title could walk away with one of gaming’s greatest honors.
