While Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 narrowly missed out on Game of the Year, it still walked away with the Best Soundtrack award at the 2025 Steam Awards. The honor reflects the game’s widespread praise for its music, which many players cited as a standout element of the overall experience.

Other notable category winners included Hades 2, which secured Best Game on Steam Deck, and PEAK, which won Better With Friends. The results highlighted a strong year for both indie and mid-sized studios competing alongside blockbuster releases.
