Welcome to the Third Annual Steam Awards
The Steam Awards have been held every year by Valve since 2016. These awards are meant to give the players a chance to pick and chose which games of the year really stood out to them. There are a bunch of different categories that are open. This is done to give every type of game a chance to get the recognition that it deserves. This is an award that is totally controlled by Steam users themselves. Valve has no input on who wins or who loses. So without further anticipation here are the winners of the 2019 Steam Awards.
