The 2025 Steam Awards have officially opened their nominations, and Rebellion is calling for support from the stealth community. The studio is asking players to nominate Sniper Elite: Resistance for the prestigious Game of the Year category. This call to action comes as the year draws to a close, giving fans a chance to recognize the tactical shooter's impact since its release in January.
Targeting the Top Spot
It has been nearly a year since players first dropped into occupied France to dismantle the Nazi war machine from the shadows. Sniper Elite: Resistance distinguished itself by shifting the narrative lens away from the front lines and into the clandestine operations of the French Resistance. For those who appreciated the refined sniping mechanics and the tension of the hidden war setting, this is the opportunity to push the title into the finals.
Steam Awards are unique because they are entirely community-driven during the nomination phase. A nomination for Game of the Year acknowledges not just the signature X-Ray kill cams, but the intricate level design and tactical freedom that defined this entry in the series.
When is the deadline to nominate?
Time is short if you want your vote to count. The nomination period closes on December 1 at 10am PST. To participate, you simply need to visit the game's store page on Steam and select it for the Game of the Year category. If the precision gameplay and historical atmosphere resonated with you this year, make sure to lock in your nomination before the window closes next week.
