Steam users have spoken, and Hollow Knight: Silksong has claimed the top honor at the 2025 Steam Awards, beating out finalists like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, ARC Raiders, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Voting began in November and concluded during the Steam Winter Sale, with millions of players participating across 11 categories.

In addition to Game of the Year, Silksong also won the tongue-in-cheek Best Game You Suck At award, reinforcing its reputation as a demanding but deeply rewarding experience. The double win capped off a dominant showing for Team Cherry’s long-awaited sequel.
