The first round of voting is over and we now get a glimpse of who’s going to get a chance to win at the Steam Awards 2020. There are more than 40 titles spread across 10 categories.
While no one game led the nominations, four games had two nominations each. In fact, all four of them are also vying for Game of the Year. How’s that for competition?
Unlike other awards shows, the winners of Steam Awards are chosen by the Steam Community. Those who have a Steam account can vote which game they want to win in each category. Voting will close on January 3 at 12:00 PM ET. Winners will be announced at 1:00 PM ET.
