Steam Awards 2023: These are the nominees!

The coveted Steam Awards will be presented again this year. It is now clear which titles have a chance of winning in the individual categories.

As usual, the field for this year’s Steam Awards was prepared during the Autumn Sales and suggestions could be submitted. This has now resulted in the list of nominees in the individual categories. These are the games that were most popular.

In the Game of the Year category, Baldur’s Gate III, for example, once again has the chance to win the biggest prize. Whether this will be successful will be decided during the Steam Winter Sale during the Christmas holidays. The next big discount campaign on Steam will take place from December 21, 2023 to January 4, 2024 – and then players can cast their votes for the nominees in the individual categories and choose the winners.
