Steam’s second Steam Awards has closed its voting and the winners have been announced. Similar to last year, the awards are mostly for fans to vote in various fun categories rather than the prim-and-proper industry awards such as at The Game Awards. The nominations for the 13 categories were open for nominations at the start of the Steam Winter Sales before five of the most popular were shortlisted for another round of voting.
Here are the winners for 2017 Steam Awards. Winners are highlighted in bold.
