While the period leading up to the 2023 Steam Awards was turbulent to say the least we couldn’t have expected how poorly the general public would receive the eventual winners. One thing seems sure though, we can at least all agree that Baldurs Gate 3 is clearly Game Of The Year.

Public Opinion
PRESENTING YOUR WINNERS!
The community has spoken! Your votes throughout the Steam Winter Sale have chosen these games below as winners of the 2023 Steam Awards!
The Steam Awards are no stranger to criticism but this year it seemed almost plagued by it at every turn, in a year where the industry and players are more divided then ever events like these usually catch the ugly side of those debates and for Steams 2023 Steam Awards this was once again the case. That is not to say that i agree with all of the winners but that is the nature of public voting.
