The first round of voting for the Steam Awards 2020 kicks off on the Steam store

In the first stage, each user will be able to nominate any game to one of the declared categories. This stage will take place until December 1. At the beginning of next month, the main stage of voting starts, where users will be able to choose what they like from the lists already drawn up. On January 3, the voting results will be announced and Valve will announce the winners of all categories.

In order to motivate users to nominate games, Valve has prepared some stimulating surprises. Users will be able to get the Quality Games Selection Committee badge and upgrade it as they complete their assigned tasks. For each level of the aforementioned badge, Steam residents will receive 25 experience points for their profile.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which stood out against the background of its competitors with a high level of difficulty, became the winner in the nomination "Best Game of the Year", and GTA V took the title "Favorite Child".
