The 2025 Steam Awards have officially kicked off their nomination phase, and Rebellion Developments is calling on the community to push Atomfall toward the top spot. Players have until December 1st to cast their nominations for the coveted Game of the Year category.
A British Apocalypse Contender
Since its release in March 2025, Atomfall has carved out a specific niche in the survival genre. While many post-apocalyptic titles focus on vast, gray wastelands, Rebellion took a different approach by grounding the horror in a lush, recognizable British countryside. The game challenges players to survive a quarantine zone five years after a nuclear disaster, mixing resource management with the eerie normalcy of village life gone wrong.
Now, the developers are looking to cap off the year by securing a nomination for Steam's highest honor. Unlike critic-led awards, the Steam Awards are entirely community-driven, meaning the meta is dictated solely by the player base. If the mix of cricket bats, wicked cults, and rogue government agencies defined your gaming year, this is your window to make it count.
How do I nominate Atomfall?
To participate, you need to log into your Steam account and navigate to the Steam Awards nomination page. You can nominate Atomfall specifically for the "Game of the Year" category. The developers have highlighted this specific award, aiming to compete against the year's other heavy hitters.
Key Deadline Details:
- Event: Steam Awards 2025 Nominations
- Target Category: Game of the Year

Once the nomination window closes on December 1st, the top voted games will move on to the final voting round during the Winter Sale. If you want to see the quarantine zone represented in the finals, ensure your nomination is locked in before the morning cutoff.
