The voting was done exclusively by fans. The games eligible for nomination were released on Steam from November 2019 to November 2020.

GOTY nominations were Death Stranding, Fall Guys, Doom Eternal, and Hades, whereas, Outstanding Story-Rich Game nominations were Detroit: Become Human, Mafia Definitive Edition, Metro Exodus, and Horizon Zero Dawn.
