Discover the Winners of the First Ever Steam Awards

Steam Awards

Valve has just released the list of winners of their amusing Steam Awards. Check them out!

Last November Valve announced a rather curious initiative: the Steam Awards. Members of the Steam community could cast their votes for their favorite games – albeit, not following the traditional ranking you may expect. The Steam Awards were created with a funky and comical touch and had an original, yet familiar, rank of categories.

These included, for instance, “I’m Not Crying, There’s Something In My Eye”, “Just 5 More Minutes”, or even the “Villain Most In Need Of A Hug” one. Without a doubt, categories that better fit the thoughts of all gamers out there.

The Valve community could vote between December 22 and January 2. It has taken not too long for the Steam team to release the final list of winners. And let us tell you, there is room for surprise on these ones as well. Who would have thought that Euro Truck Simulator 2 may be on a par with GTA 5 in best scoring? 

The Steam Awards Winners

  • “Villain Most In Need Of A Hug” – Portal 2
  • “I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award” – Euro Truck Simulator 2
  • “Test of Time” – The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
  • “Just 5 More Minutes” – Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
  • “Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!” – Grand Theft Auto V
  • “Game Within A Game” – Grand Theft Auto V
  • “I’m Not Crying, There’s Something In My Eye” – The Walking Dead
  • “Best Use Of A Farm Animal” – Goat Simulator
  • “Boom Boom” – Doom
  • “Love/Hate Relationship” – Dark Souls III
  • “Sit Back and Relax” – Euro Truck Simulator 2
  • “Better With Friends” – Left 4 Dead 2

If you wish to know more about each category, head to the winners page. You will also find out what other games were considered for each category.
