Valve announced its winners for the 2023 Steam Awards, which are determined by Steam users. Games such as Baldur’s Gate 3, Hogwarts Legacy, and Starfield have all walked away with accolades.

For the biggest category, Baldur’s Gate 3 snagged another Game of the Year award, beating out games such as Resident Evil 4, Lethal Company, and Hogwarts Legacy. What’s especially notable about this is that it is yet another Game of the Year Larian Studios managed to secure. During The Game Awards, it won the same award, and it was also GameSpot’s 2023 Game of the Year.
