Google Play Awards 2024 Winners Revealed!

Google Unveils 2024's Top Apps, Games, and Books!

Google recently announced its prestigious Google Play Awards 2024, recognizing the year's best apps, games, and books. Some winners were predictable, while others came as a delightful surprise. Let's delve into the complete list of victors.

Game of the Year: A Surprising Contender

The coveted "Best Game of the Year" award went to AFK Journey, a fantasy RPG developed by Farlight and Lilith Games. Its expansive world, stunning visuals, and epic battles featuring a large cast of characters clearly impressed the judges. While the win for an "Away From Keyboard" (AFK) idle game might seem unexpected, the game's immersive exploration and breathtaking art style undoubtedly played a significant role in its victory.

Multi-Platform Domination

Supercell's Clash of Clans secured the "Best Multi-Device Game of the Year" award, a well-deserved recognition of its expansion beyond mobile platforms to include PCs and Chromebooks. Players can now seamlessly build armies, raid villages, and dominate clans across their phones, tablets, and desktops.

Other Notable Wins

The remaining awards showcased a diverse range of titles:

• Best Multiplayer Game: Supercell's Squad Busters
• Best Pick Up & Play: NetEase Games' Eggy Party, praised for its instantly accessible gameplay.
• Best Story: Solo Leveling: Arise (a somewhat surprising choice, given the varied opinions on its narrative).
• Best Indie Game: Yes, Your Grace, developed by Brave at Night and published by Noodlecake, a popular RPG making its mark on mobile after a successful PC launch.
• Best Ongoing Game: Honkai: Star Rail, a consistent favorite due to its regular updates and abundant content.
• Best for Families: Tab Time World by Kids at Play
• Best Play Pass Game: Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance
