Google Play Awards 2024: Winners Unveiled

Google just announced its top picks for the best apps, games, and books of 2024, revealing some expected winners and a few surprising choices. Curious to see who took home the coveted awards? Read on to discover all the Google Play Awards 2024 winners.

Standout Performers

The title of Best Game of the Year 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 secured the win. While the "Away From Keyboard" idle game genre might seem an unexpected choice for this top award, Google highlighted the game's exploration and visual appeal.

Supercell's Clash of Clans earned the Best Multi-Device Game award, a testament to its expansion beyond mobile to PCs and Chromebooks. Players can now build bases, train troops, and conquer opponents across their phone, tablet, or desktop.

Other notable wins include Supercell's Squad Busters for Best Multiplayer Game, and NetEase Games' Eggy Party, which took home the Best Pick Up & Play award for its accessible gameplay.

A Few Surprises

The Best Story award went to Solo Leveling: Arise, a somewhat unexpected choice. While a well-received game, its narrative may not be universally considered its strongest point.

In the indie game category, Yes, Your Grace, developed by Brave at Night and published by Noodlecake, won Best Indie Game. This RPG, initially released on PC in 2020, has quickly gained popularity since its mobile launch.

Honkai: Star Rail secured the Best Ongoing Game award for its consistent updates and extensive content. Kids at Play's Tab Time World won Best for Families, and Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance was the Play Pass winner. Finally, Cookie Run: Tower of Adventures claimed the award for Best Google Play Games on PC.
