As before, Steam goes strictly by the Steam release date rather than the PC release year when determining whether a game qualifies for most of the nominations. This allows to nominate quite a number of former Epic exclusives, Ubisoft releases, or other games previously unavailable on Steam, including:

• Anno 1701 History Edition (2020)
• Assassin's Creed Mirage (2023)
• Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (2023)
• Corruption 2029 (2020)
• Crime Boss: Rockay City (2023)
• Dead Island 2 (2023)
• Goat Simulator 3 (2022)
• Kingdom Hearts (2021)
• Palia (2023)
• Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate (2023)
• Star Trek: Resurgence (2023)
• Tchia (2023)
• The Alto Collection (2020)
• The Crew Motorfest (2023)
• The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria (2023)
• The Settlers: New Allies (2023)
• Tortuga - A Pirate's Tale (2023)
• Touch Type Tale (2023)
• Witchfire (2023)

Edit: Added Touch Type Tale; slightly corrected the intro.
