The internet finally broke because the bug game actually won everything. Valve dropped the 2025 Steam Awards results, where Team Cherry upset the odds with Hollow Knight Silksong taking Game of the Year over the massive favorite Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Sandfall Interactive saw their JRPG lose despite stacking up trophies that trail only Elden Ring and The Last of Us Part II. Gamers clearly preferred the Metroidvania sequel since user votes dictated the result.
Silksong also grabbed the Best Game You Suck At title against Path of Exile II, Elden Ring Nightreign, Marvel Rivals and Where Winds Meet. Clair Obscur secured Best Soundtrack honors.
Baldur's Gate III claimed Labor of Love, while Hades II took the Steam Deck category and The Midnight Walk dominated VR. Peak won Better With Friends while Silent Hill f earned Visual Style. ARC Raiders took Innovative Gameplay, while Dispatch won Story Rich and RV There Yet? claimed Sit Back and Relax.
