Google just announced its top picks for the best apps, games, and books of 2024, revealing a mix of expected and unexpected winners. Curious to see who took home the coveted awards? Read on for a complete rundown of the Google Play Awards 2024 winners.
Top Performers:
The title of Best Game of the Year went to AFK Journey, a fantasy RPG from Farlight and Lilith Games. Its captivating visuals, expansive world, and epic battles featuring a huge roster of characters secured the win. While an "Away From Keyboard" (idle) game taking top honors might seem surprising, the game's exploration elements and stunning graphics clearly impressed Google.
Supercell's Clash of Clans earned the Best Multi-Device Game award, a well-deserved win given its expansion beyond mobile to PCs and Chromebooks. Players can now engage in village raids, army building, and clan dominance across phones, tablets, and desktops.
Other notable wins include:
- 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, although its narrative clearly resonated with many players.
- Best Indie: Yes, Your Grace (Brave at Night/Noodlecake), a popular RPG that transitioned successfully from PC to mobile.
- Best Ongoing: Honkai: Star Rail, a consistent favorite due to its regular updates and rich 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
