The results for The Steam Awards 2023 are now out, and Baldur's Gate 3 has been voted as the GOTY. With over 40 million votes being cast ahead of this year's ceremony, the community has come together to choose their winners across different categories. There were plenty of categories, each with its host of nominations. However, only the best of the best are under the spotlight now that the results have been declared.

Baldur's Gate 3 winning the title of the best game at The Steam Awards 2023 isn't a surprise. After all, it did the same at The Game Awards 2023 last month, where Larian Studios managed to secure six awards, including the coveted GOTY. While the number of categories at The Steam Awards 2023 was lesser, Baldur's Gate 3 has managed to secure two rewards.

Let's take a look at all the category winners as selected by the Steam community.
