Google Play Awards 2024 Winners Unveiled

Google just announced its top picks for the best apps, games, and books of 2024, revealing a mix of expected and unexpected winners. Let's explore the Google Play Awards 2024 winners.

Game of the Year: A Surprise Contender

The coveted 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 large cast of characters impressed Google. While the win for an "Away From Keyboard" idle game might seem unexpected, the game's exploration elements and artistic merit clearly resonated with the judges.

Multi-Platform Domination

Supercell's Clash of Clans took home the Best Multi-Device Game award. Its expansion beyond mobile to PCs and Chromebooks was a key factor in its victory. Players can now manage their clans, build armies, and raid villages across multiple devices.

• Best Multiplayer Game: Supercell's Squad Busters
• Best Pick Up & Play: NetEase Games' Eggy Party
• Best Story: Solo Leveling: Arise (a surprising choice for some)
