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 title of Best Game of the Year went to AFK Journey, a fantasy RPG from Farlight and Lilith Games. Its expansive world, stunning visuals, and epic battles featuring a large cast of characters secured the win. While an "Away From Keyboard" idle game taking top honors might seem unexpected, the game's exploration and visuals clearly impressed Google.
Supercell's Clash of Clans earned the Best Multi-Device Game award, thanks to its expansion beyond mobile to PCs and Chromebooks. Players can now conquer villages, build armies, and dominate clans across phones, tablets, and desktops.
Other notable winners include:
- Best Multiplayer Game: Supercell's Squad Busters
- Best Pick Up & Play: NetEase Games' Eggy Party (for its easy accessibility)
- Best Story: Solo Leveling: Arise (a surprising choice, given the game's story isn't universally praised)
- Best Indie Game: Yes, Your Grace (a popular RPG that made its mobile debut this year, having previously launched on PC in 2020)
- Best Ongoing Game: Honkai: Star Rail (a consistent favorite due to its frequent updates and abundant content)
- Best Family Game: 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
