2024 may have just started, but Baldur's Gate 3 continues to rake in accolades. The epic D&D CRPG from Larian Studios took home the Game of the Year at the Steam Awards.
2023 was a banner year for Larian Studios with its critical and fan favorite video game, Baldur's Gate 3. Officially licensed from Wizards of the Coast, the grand adventure in the Forgotten Realms was released in August of that year to much acclaim. It would later receive nominations and wins at the biggest award-giving bodies in the video game industry, including the prestigious Golden Joystick and The Game Awards.
And now, BG3 can add another Game of the Year title under its belt. Steam announced the winners for its annual awards and shared the results on social media. The announcement highlighted Baldur's Gate 3's triumph.
Larian Studios extended its gratitude to the 40 million+ respondents to the Steam Awards voting process.
Aside from the GOTY title, Baldur's Gate 3 also won the Steam Awards Outstanding Story-Rich Game title. With thousands of possible variations to the story progression, endings, and epilogues, it comes as no surprise that BG3 won this category as well. Just recently, Larian Studios added even more epilogue options with Update #5.
