PC gamers voted for Game of the Year 2022 – These are the winners of the Steam Awards  

The games highlighted by the Steam community

The Steam Winter Sale is coming to an end in a few hours from now, so Valve has just announced the winners of the Steam Awards 2022 , which the community could vote on at the same time.

Going into detail, for another year Steam users singled out the games they loved, while also awarding prizes in some unconventional categories. The grand prize went to Elden Ring, which PC gamers voted the best game of the year , with Hitman 3 standing out as the best VR release of the year. In fact, Elden Ring was the only game to win two awards, as it was also named “The Best Game You Suck At”.

Comparing last year’s winners, the only game to be awarded again was Cyberpunk 2077 , with Steam users giving it the Labor of Love Steam Awards. It seems that the community greatly appreciated the effort of CD Projekt, which continued to improve the experience, releasing multiple free updates over the past year. At the same time, PC gamers seem to have loved the PlayStation releases on the platform as well, after giving the Outstanding Story-Rich Game award to God of War.Not Ragnarok, but 2018’s God of War, which arrived on PC in early 2022. In the same category, many also singled out Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection and Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, two more Sony releases that arrived later on computers.
