Google just announced its top picks for the best apps, games, and books of 2024, revealing some expected winners and a few surprising choices. Let's dive into the complete list of Google Play Award 2024 winners.
Top Performers:
The coveted "Best Game of the Year" award went to AFK Journey, a fantasy RPG from Farlight and Lilith Games. Its expansive world, stunning visuals, and epic battles featuring a massive roster of characters secured its victory. While an "Away From Keyboard" (idle) game winning this award is unexpected, the game's exploration and visual appeal clearly impressed Google.
Supercell's Clash of Clans took home the "Best Multi-Device Game" award, a well-deserved recognition for its expansion beyond mobile to PCs and Chromebooks. Players can now build bases, train troops, and conquer villages across various devices.
Further accolades include:
- Best Multiplayer Game: Supercell's Squad Busters
- Best Pick Up & Play Game: NetEase Games' Eggy Party, praised for its immediately accessible gameplay.
- Best Story: Solo Leveling: Arise (a surprising choice for some, though the game's popularity speaks for itself).
- Best Indie Game: Yes, Your Grace, developed by Brave at Night and published by Noodlecake, a mobile port of a popular PC RPG.
- Best Ongoing Game: Honkai: Star Rail, a consistent favorite due to its regular updates and extensive content.
- Best for Families: Tab Time World by Kids at Play
- Best Play Pass Game: Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance
- Best Google Play Games on PC: Cookie Run: Tower of Adventures
