Final Thoughts

While some people will always be mad and will still argue for the selection of the winners, we think this was a good list of winners for the Steam Awards.

Every good game that was released this year won an award. Some might argue that Clair Obscur Expedition 33 should have won GOTY, as they already did at the Game Awards 2025.

Also, for Silksong fans, Team Cherry has announced the free DLC expansion, Sea of Sorrow, which is expected to release in 2026.

There will be a new oceanic region, where fans can expect to explore more sea-themed areas, new tools for the Hornet arsenal and more challenging bosses awaiting the players.
