The Valve platform has shared the results of the community votes for the 2023 edition of its well-known Steam Awards ceremony.

Throughout the winter sales, which end tomorrow at 7 p.m. (Paris time), Steam users were asked to award various prizes according to categories established by the platform. These votes ended a few hours ago, and some purely democratic results are… quite surprising.

Like our report for the winners of the Game Awards, we will present each category, associate the winner and recall the finalists. Without further ado, here is the summary of the Steam Awards 2023.
