Steam Awards 2021 Nominee List

December 21, 2021 by Matt Cook

Check out a full list of the nominees here.

2021 is swiftly coming to a close and with it, comes the annual Steam Awards. Steam has recently announced its nominations for The Steam Awards 2021 and some of the categories include Best Soundtrack, Labor of Love, Better with Friends, and many more.

Valve hosts The Steam Awards at the end of each year, celebrating stand-out game developers and publishers of the year. The Steam website currently lists each category that gamers will be able to vote for. Voting will begin tomorrow and continue until the first week of January. The Game Awards, earlier this month, gave Game of the Year to the popular It Takes Two. It will be interesting to see how it fares at The Steam Awards, although the categories vary considerably between the two award ceremonies.

The Steam Awards categories are quite specified. “Labor of Love,” for example, is a game that is well past its release date but that developers have continued to make content for years later. Another category, ” Better with Friends,” is basically what it sounds like. The nominees of this section include a list of games that tend to work best when played with others such as Back 4 Blood. There are several other categories such as “Most Innovative Gameplay” and “Best Game You Suck At.”
