- I got it.

01:02:14.181 --> 01:02:15.098
Whoo, sick.

01:02:16.853 --> 01:02:18.335
- Wow.

01:02:18.335 --> 01:02:19.168
- Thanks.

01:02:20.569 --> 01:02:21.819
- Okay, thanks.

01:02:24.245 --> 01:02:25.228
No!

01:02:25.228 --> 01:02:26.478
- That was fun.

01:02:29.305 --> 01:02:30.448

01:02:39.425 --> 01:02:42.175

- The darkness in this mine is alive.

01:03:10.695 --> 01:03:12.375
It's hateful.

01:03:12.375 --> 01:03:13.375
It's hungry.

01:03:22.992 --> 01:03:26.144

01:03:26.144 --> 01:03:28.894

01:03:36.172 --> 01:03:37.776
- This game has been out for a while.

01:03:37.776 --> 01:03:39.396
The team is well past the first unveiling

of their creative baby,
but being the good parents

01:03:41.570 --> 01:03:43.640
that they are, these
devs continue to nurture

01:05:02.274 --> 01:05:04.920
- VR is the wild west of game design.

01:05:04.920 --> 01:05:07.625
It's a lawless land of emerging standards

01:05:07.625 --> 01:05:09.939
where pretty much anything goes.

01:05:09.939 --> 01:05:13.375
The winner of this award
is not only hugely fun,

01:05:13.375 --> 01:05:14.955
but helps chart a course

01:05:14.955 --> 01:05:16.934

To accept this award
for VR Game of the Year,

01:05:26.060 --> 01:05:27.844
we present Bethesda Game Studios

01:05:27.844 --> 01:05:29.978
coming to you from Rockville, Maryland.

01:05:29.978 --> 01:05:30.912
- Hey everybody.

01:05:30.912 --> 01:05:32.160
- Hey, how's it going?

01:05:32.160 --> 01:05:34.398
On behalf of all of us here
at Bethesda Game Studios

01:05:34.398 --> 01:05:35.384
we'd like to say thank you

01:05:35.384 --> 01:05:37.746
to all of our Skyrim VR
fans for voting for us

01:05:37.746 --> 01:05:40.013
and making this award possible.

01:05:40.013 --> 01:05:41.943
- Skyrim VR was a passion project for us.

01:05:41.943 --> 01:05:44.003
We were very excited to
bring the world of Skyrim

01:05:44.003 --> 01:05:46.691
into VR and experience it this new way.

01:05:46.691 --> 01:05:48.362
- It was so much fun
for us to bring a game

01:05:48.362 --> 01:05:50.457
of this scale to VR and we're thankful

01:05:50.457 --> 01:05:52.300
that you guys enjoyed playing it as much

01:05:52.300 --> 01:05:53.543
as we enjoyed making it.

01:05:53.543 --> 01:05:54.909
- We also need to take
a moment to congratulate

01:05:54.909 --> 01:05:56.198
all the other amazing games

01:05:56.198 --> 01:05:57.522
that were nominated this year.

01:05:57.522 --> 01:05:58.902
- It's an honor to be in your company.

01:05:58.902 --> 01:06:00.607
- Finally, we'd like
to thank all the gamers

01:06:00.607 --> 01:06:03.432
out there who are as
excited about VR as we are.

01:06:03.432 --> 01:06:04.976
- So again, from all of us here

01:06:04.976 --> 01:06:06.258
at Bethesda Game Studios.

01:06:06.258 --> 01:06:07.386
- Thanks for playing.

01:06:07.386 --> 01:06:11.053
(dramatic orchestral music)

01:06:15.153 --> 01:06:17.903
(dramatic music)

01:06:19.105 --> 01:06:21.987
- Better with Friends.

01:06:21.987 --> 01:06:24.490
(dramatic music)

01:06:24.490 --> 01:06:27.073
- Okay, let's do this.

01:06:31.549 --> 01:06:34.216
(ominous music)

01:06:41.225 --> 01:06:43.975
(dramatic music)

01:06:50.678 --> 01:06:53.428
(dramatic music)

01:07:00.862 --> 01:07:03.529
(playful music)

01:07:10.536 --> 01:07:12.149
- There are some games out there

01:07:12.149 --> 01:07:14.896
that just aren't the same when
you play them by yourself.

01:07:14.896 --> 01:07:17.446
Maybe you need to have a
friend to watch your back,

01:07:17.446 --> 01:07:19.451
or maybe you need to have a friend

01:07:19.451 --> 01:07:21.259
that you can stab in their back.

01:07:21.259 --> 01:07:24.305
Either way, this game
is better with friends.

01:07:24.305 --> 01:07:25.888
And your winner is --

01:07:27.724 --> 01:07:30.656
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

01:07:30.656 --> 01:07:32.670
Now to accept the award
for Better with Friends,

01:07:32.670 --> 01:07:35.698
we present Ubisoft coming to
you from Montreal, Canada.

01:07:35.698 --> 01:07:36.683
- What's up everyone?

01:07:36.683 --> 01:07:37.764
I'm Craig Robinson and I am joined

01:07:37.764 --> 01:07:39.705
by my friend Justin Kruger.

01:07:39.705 --> 01:07:41.512
And just real quick off
the top of your head,

01:07:41.512 --> 01:07:43.656
what are some of your favorite
things to do with friends?

01:07:43.656 --> 01:07:45.220
- Well friend, I would
have to be eating pizza,

01:07:45.220 --> 01:07:46.757
eating poutine, skiing,

01:07:46.757 --> 01:07:50.377
cuddling and also Rainbow Six Siege.

01:07:50.377 --> 01:07:51.891
Thank you to everyone that voted for us

01:07:51.891 --> 01:07:53.818
during the 2018 Steam Awards

01:07:53.818 --> 01:07:55.741
for the Better with Friends Award.

01:07:55.741 --> 01:07:57.633
- And there's no better time
to jump into Rainbow Six,

01:07:57.633 --> 01:08:00.197
so gather your friends
and we'll see you in game.

01:08:00.197 --> 01:08:03.671
(dramatic music)

01:08:03.671 --> 01:08:05.999
- Best Environment.

01:08:05.999 --> 01:08:09.666
(dramatic orchestral music)

01:08:18.172 --> 01:08:20.922
(soothing music)

01:08:27.253 --> 01:08:30.003
(majestic music)

01:08:37.128 --> 01:08:38.853
- If you're watchin' this, and your brain

01:08:38.853 --> 01:08:41.572
isn't pouring out your
nose, congratulations.

01:08:41.572 --> 01:08:46.327
It means you can handle
what I'm about to tell you.

01:08:46.327 --> 01:08:49.994
(dramatic orchestral music)

01:08:55.514 --> 01:08:57.072
- Those chatty cut scenes,

01:08:57.072 --> 01:09:00.053
all those reminders they
need a health pack again;

01:09:00.053 --> 01:09:01.985
characters are overrated.

01:09:01.985 --> 01:09:03.959
As this winner illustrates,

01:09:03.959 --> 01:09:07.899
sometimes breathtaking
scenery tells a better story

01:09:07.899 --> 01:09:10.652
than a thousand big-mouthed heroes.

01:09:10.652 --> 01:09:12.235
And your winner is --

01:09:13.726 --> 01:09:16.605
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

01:09:16.605 --> 01:09:18.698
To accept this award for Best Environment,

01:09:18.698 --> 01:09:22.363
CD Projekt Red from Warsaw, Poland.

01:09:22.363 --> 01:09:25.405
- From vivid landscapes
lush with fields and forests

01:09:25.405 --> 01:09:28.743
to neon-saturated mega cities,
every single day members

01:09:28.743 --> 01:09:31.945
of CD Projekt Red's environment
team pour their hearts

01:09:31.945 --> 01:09:34.199
into crafting amazing locations

01:09:34.199 --> 01:09:36.828
for the studio's games.

01:09:36.828 --> 01:09:39.274
Lucjan, our environment art director,

01:09:39.274 --> 01:09:41.130
wished to say a few
words and thank everyone

01:09:41.130 --> 01:09:42.973
who voted for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

01:09:42.973 --> 01:09:46.090
in the latest edition of the Steam Awards.

01:09:46.090 --> 01:09:48.398
- I thank you for voting for our game.

01:09:48.398 --> 01:09:51.437
Thank you for voting for our game.

01:09:53.958 --> 01:09:56.715
- Yes, thank you Lucjan,

01:09:56.715 --> 01:09:59.628
for finding the time to talk to us.

01:09:59.628 --> 01:10:02.011
- Jokes aside, it's incredibly inspiring

01:10:02.011 --> 01:10:05.582
to see everyone's effort
noticed and appreciated.

01:10:05.582 --> 01:10:07.751
From all of us on the environment team,

01:10:07.751 --> 01:10:10.181
thank you for each and every vote.

01:10:10.181 --> 01:10:12.848
It truly means the world for us.

01:10:13.987 --> 01:10:16.737
(dramatic music)

01:10:17.646 --> 01:10:19.971
- Best Alternate History.

01:10:19.971 --> 01:10:21.001
- Funny.

01:10:21.001 --> 01:10:23.668
(intense music)

01:10:30.150 --> 01:10:32.495
- My father's spear holds a certain burden

01:10:32.495 --> 01:10:33.995
but you are ready.

01:10:35.182 --> 01:10:38.515
It carries with it a long line of power.

01:10:40.145 --> 01:10:42.900
- Alone, we stood against Fascism.

01:10:42.900 --> 01:10:46.779
Alone, we drove the German
invader from Stalingrad.

01:10:46.779 --> 01:10:49.362
Alone, we prepare to march west.

01:10:51.043 --> 01:10:53.376
- A civilization.

01:11:00.086 --> 01:11:03.037
- This wasn't the world I wanted,

01:11:03.037 --> 01:11:06.120
but it was the one I found myself in.

01:11:10.593 --> 01:11:12.081
- Those who cannot remember the past

01:11:12.081 --> 01:11:13.644
are doomed to repeat it.

01:11:13.644 --> 01:11:15.127
Those who remember it just fine,

01:11:15.127 --> 01:11:17.383
but prefer to reinvent it, are doomed

01:11:17.383 --> 01:11:20.608
to get this award for 2018's
most entertaining tinkering

01:11:20.608 --> 01:11:22.529
with the history books.

01:11:22.529 --> 01:11:24.112
And your winner is --

01:11:25.993 --> 01:11:28.184
Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

01:11:28.184 --> 01:11:29.529
- Now, to accept the award

01:11:29.529 --> 01:11:33.283
for Best Alternate History, Ubisoft.

01:11:33.283 --> 01:11:34.637
- Hi, thanks very much for voting

01:11:34.637 --> 01:11:37.198

Odyssey in the Steam Awards.

01:11:37.198 --> 01:11:38.511
We're really proud to accept

01:11:38.511 --> 01:11:40.659
the Best Alternate History Award,

01:11:40.659 --> 01:11:41.898
thanks to your votes.

01:11:41.898 --> 01:11:44.743
As you know, Assassin's Creed
Odyssey is a massive game

01:11:44.743 --> 01:11:46.503
and none of this would have been possible

01:11:46.503 --> 01:11:49.394
without our beloved Spartan Army.

01:11:49.394 --> 01:11:51.894
(team cheers)

01:11:56.220 --> 01:11:58.229
- Everyone on the team
worked incredibly hard

01:11:58.229 --> 01:12:00.086
to create Odyssey and we're grateful

01:12:00.086 --> 01:12:01.731
for your support.

01:12:01.731 --> 01:12:03.911
Once again, from the bottom of our hearts,

01:12:03.911 --> 01:12:06.366
thank you for all the love and enthusiasm

01:12:06.366 --> 01:12:08.213
you've shown for Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

01:12:08.213 --> 01:12:10.523
We couldn't have done it without you.

01:12:10.523 --> 01:12:13.699
(upbeat music)

01:12:13.699 --> 01:12:16.449
(dramatic music)

01:12:17.705 --> 01:12:20.221
- Best Game Developer.

01:12:20.221 --> 01:12:23.804
(intense orchestral music)

01:12:30.458 --> 01:12:33.208
(dramatic music)

01:12:39.809 --> 01:12:43.476
(majestic orchestral music)

01:12:49.503 --> 01:12:52.170
(intense music)

01:13:02.221 --> 01:13:03.916
We used to fight back

01:13:03.916 --> 01:13:05.499
no matter the odds.

01:13:09.878 --> 01:13:14.005
- The Lord of Shadows
ended countless lives.

01:13:14.005 --> 01:13:18.838
The lucky few who rode the
storm out struggled to survive.

01:13:21.472 --> 01:13:22.644
- Be careful.
- Hmm.

01:13:22.644 --> 01:13:25.868
- You're ready, get to your posts now.

01:13:25.868 --> 01:13:28.618
(majestic music)

01:13:29.873 --> 01:13:33.777
- Political tension, diplomacy,

01:13:33.777 --> 01:13:38.110
betrayal, and deceit and
it is yours for the taking.

01:13:39.035 --> 01:13:42.035
(upbeat rock music)

01:13:50.990 --> 01:13:53.657
(playful music)

01:13:59.606 --> 01:14:01.179
- Whether it was by
listening to their fans,

01:14:01.179 --> 01:14:03.508
creating something genuinely unexpected,

01:14:03.508 --> 01:14:05.111
or just delivering on a promise

01:14:05.111 --> 01:14:06.913
of a truly great game,

01:14:06.913 --> 01:14:11.026
this studio absolutely crushed it in 2018.

01:14:11.026 --> 01:14:12.609
And your winner is --

01:14:13.854 --> 01:14:15.104
CD Projekt Red.

01:14:16.363 --> 01:14:17.786
- Now, to accept the award

01:14:17.786 --> 01:14:22.094
for Best Game Developer,
once again, CD Projekt Red.

01:14:22.094 --> 01:14:24.874
- Hi there, just wanted to thank everyone

01:14:24.874 --> 01:14:26.522
for voting for CD Projekt Red

01:14:26.522 --> 01:14:28.458
at this year's Steam Awards.

01:14:28.458 --> 01:14:30.627
Being named Best Developer

01:14:30.627 --> 01:14:35.627
is truly an honor but it's
also a responsibility to always

01:14:35.673 --> 01:14:39.053
go the extra mile and
to put in even more love

01:14:39.053 --> 01:14:41.026
into everything we do.

01:14:41.026 --> 01:14:43.791
We can't wait to present you more

01:14:43.791 --> 01:14:47.003
of our upcoming new title, Cyberpunk 2077.

01:14:47.003 --> 01:14:49.619
And I can promise that everyone,

01:14:49.619 --> 01:14:52.574
myself included, is super hard at work

01:14:52.574 --> 01:14:54.024
to make it happen.

01:14:54.024 --> 01:14:57.024
So thank you again and stay awesome.

01:15:00.282 --> 01:15:03.836
(dramatic music)

01:15:03.836 --> 01:15:06.063
- Game of the Year.

01:15:06.063 --> 01:15:08.731
(ominous music)

01:15:17.760 --> 01:15:18.787
- Be careful.
- Hmm.

01:15:18.787 --> 01:15:21.525
- You're ready, get to your posts now!

01:15:21.525 --> 01:15:24.192
(intense music)

01:15:25.944 --> 01:15:29.760
- Dear brother, forget your former life

01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:33.084
and embrace your new
vocation in the community

01:15:33.084 --> 01:15:35.794
of the Monks of St. Benedict.

01:15:35.794 --> 01:15:38.544
(dramatic music)

01:15:41.774 --> 01:15:44.607
- Welcome to Columbia, 47.

01:15:55.635 --> 01:15:57.900
- Maybe it's immersive gameplay

01:15:57.900 --> 01:16:01.304
or it's gripping story,
well-crafted characters,

01:16:01.304 --> 01:16:04.357
immaculate design or
addictive multiplayer.

01:16:04.357 --> 01:16:05.608
Whatever the reason,

01:16:05.608 --> 01:16:09.127
the winner of 2018's
Game of the Year Award

01:16:09.127 --> 01:16:11.101
is an instant classic.

01:16:11.101 --> 01:16:12.684
And your winner is --

01:16:14.674 --> 01:16:17.462
- PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS.

01:16:17.462 --> 01:16:19.009
And now, to accept the award

01:16:19.009 --> 01:16:22.184
for Game of the Year, we present Bluehole.

01:16:22.184 --> 01:16:25.522
- So we won Steam's Game of the Year.

01:16:25.522 --> 01:16:27.604
I have to say this came as quite a shock.

01:16:27.604 --> 01:16:29.901
There are so many amazing games

01:16:29.901 --> 01:16:32.832
in the category this year,
but I have to say thank you

01:16:32.832 --> 01:16:34.948
to each and every fan that voted for us.

01:16:34.948 --> 01:16:37.046
It's your passion and love for our game

01:16:37.046 --> 01:16:38.729
that keeps us battling every day

01:16:38.729 --> 01:16:42.318
to make this the best realistic
battle royale on the market.

01:16:42.318 --> 01:16:45.659
Thank you all so very, very much.

01:16:45.659 --> 01:16:47.305
- [Interpreter] It is such a great honor

01:16:47.305 --> 01:16:49.510
to win Steam's Game of
the Year 2018 Award.

01:16:49.510 --> 01:16:50.912
This would not have been possible

01:16:50.912 --> 01:16:53.393
without the love and support
of the PUBG community.

01:16:53.393 --> 01:16:54.828
We will continue to work hard

01:16:54.828 --> 01:16:56.307
with the goal of providing you

01:16:56.307 --> 01:16:58.194
with the best battle royale experience.

01:16:58.194 --> 01:16:59.844
We very much look forward
to your continued feedback

01:16:59.844 --> 01:17:02.101
and support and will strive to provide

01:17:02.101 --> 01:17:06.084
a better experience for
everyone, thank you.

01:17:06.084 --> 01:17:07.844
- The biggest thanks
of all goes out to you,

01:17:07.844 --> 01:17:09.909
the Steam Community, for
making your voice heard

01:17:09.909 --> 01:17:11.845
and calling out your favorites.

01:17:11.845 --> 01:17:13.688
If you have an idea for
next year's Steam Awards,

01:17:13.688 --> 01:17:15.831
feel free to leave a comment in the chat.

01:17:15.831 --> 01:17:17.110
Check out all these winners
