Steam’s community-voted GOTY goes to Silksong
Valve has revealed the winners of the 2025 Steam Awards, and Hollow Knight: Silksong walked away with Game of the Year — plus Best Game You Suck At.
And yeah — if you want the simple “indie GOTY on Steam” angle, this is basically it. If it feels a bit weird right after our own awards, no stress: Steam Awards are a massive platform-wide community vote, while our Fix Gaming Channel Indie Game Awards 2025 winners are our own picks. We also had a separate Community Choice GOTY winner, which gives another useful comparison between platform voting and our own audience vote.
Full winners (2025 Steam Awards):
- Game of the Year: Hollow Knight: Silksong
- VR Game of the Year: The Midnight Walk
- Labor of Love: Baldur’s Gate 3
- Best Game on Steam Deck: Hades II
