Steam users have chosen 2025’s Game of the Year winner, and it shouldn’t be too surprising that it was Hollow Knight: Silksong, one of the biggest titles on the platform since its debut last year.
Among the games Silksong edged out in that category were The Game Awards‘ Game of the Year winner Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Indie Game Awards’ Game of the Year winner Blue Prince. Expedition 33 had previously won both awards, but it was stripped of its Indie Game Awards over AI concerns.
Expedition 33 didn’t walk away from the Steam Awards empty handed. Voters gave it the Best Soundtrack Award for 2025. Among this year’s 11 game categories, Silksong was the only title that won more than just a single award.
Beyond that, Steam voters spread the wealth to include fan-favorites Dispatch, Hades 2, Silent Hill f, Peak, ARC Raiders and more. Baldur’s Gate 3 even got another award for its post-game updates and bug fixes.
The complete list of winners for the 2025 Steam Awards is included below.
