Google Play 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 in mobile apps, games, and books. While some winners were anticipated, others delivered surprising results. Let's delve into the complete list of victors.

Game of the Year: AFK Journey

Farlight and Lilith Games' AFK Journey, a fantasy RPG, claimed the top prize. Its expansive world, stunning visuals, and epic battles featuring a large roster of characters impressed the judges. The win for an "Away From Keyboard" idle game is somewhat unexpected, but the game's exploration and artistic merit clearly resonated with Google.

Best Multi-Device Game: Clash of Clans

Supercell's enduring hit, Clash of Clans, earned the Best Multi-Device Game award. Its expansion beyond mobile to PCs and Chromebooks cemented its victory, allowing players to engage in raiding, army building, and clan domination across various 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 somewhat surprising choice, given the game's story isn't universally praised).
• Best Indie Game: Yes, Your Grace (Brave at Night/Noodlecake) – A popular PC RPG that made a successful mobile debut.
• Best Ongoing Game: Honkai: Star Rail – A consistent favorite due to its regular updates and extensive content.
