Who Won at the Google Play Awards 2024?

Google Unveils 2024's Top Apps, Games, and Books: A Look at the Google Play Awards Winners

Google recently announced its prestigious Google Play Awards 2024, recognizing the year's best apps, games, and books. The winners showcase a blend of expected frontrunners and some surprising choices. Let's delve into the complete list of award recipients.

Game of the Year: AFK Journey, the fantasy RPG from Farlight and Lilith Games, claimed the top prize. Its expansive world, stunning visuals, and epic battles featuring a massive roster of characters impressed Google's judges. While the win for an "Away From Keyboard" (idle) game might seem unexpected, the game's exploration elements and artistic merit clearly resonated.

Best Multi-Device Game: Supercell's Clash of Clans secured this award, thanks to its successful expansion beyond mobile devices to PCs and Chromebooks. Players can now seamlessly manage their clans, build armies, and raid villages across multiple platforms.

Other Notable Winners:

• Best Multiplayer Game: Squad Busters (Supercell)
• Best Pick Up & Play Game: Eggy Party (NetEase Games)
• Best Story: Solo Leveling: Arise (a surprising win, given the game's story is a point of contention among players)
• Best Indie Game: Yes, Your Grace (Brave at Night/Noodlecake), a popular PC RPG that recently made its mobile debut.
• Best Ongoing Game: Honkai: Star Rail, a consistent favorite due to its frequent updates and rich content.
