It was also given the "Best Game You Suck At" award, which, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. Given the relentless fawning over Silksong since its release in September, an event that nearly brought the entire digital video game distribution system to its knees,"

Check out the full list of winners and nominees here at the Steam Awards 2025 landing page."
