Who Won at the Google Play Awards 2024?

Google just announced its top picks for the best apps, games, and books of 2024, revealing some predictable choices alongside some unexpected winners. Curious to see who took home the coveted awards? Read on for a complete rundown of the Google Play Awards 2024 winners.

Top Performers:

The title of Best Game of 2024 goes 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 secured the win. While the victory of an idle RPG might surprise some, Google highlights the game's exploration and impressive graphics as key factors.

Next up, Clash of Clans by Supercell earned the Best Multi-Device Game award. Its expansion beyond mobile devices to PCs and Chromebooks was a deciding factor. Now players can build bases, train troops, and conquer opponents across phones, tablets, and desktops.

Other notable winners include Squad Busters (Supercell) for Best Multiplayer Game, and Eggy Party (NetEase Games) for Best Pick Up & Play, due to its accessible gameplay.

The Best Story category saw a surprising winner: Solo Leveling: Arise. While its narrative may not be universally praised, its win highlights its popularity among players. This was arguably the biggest surprise of the Google Play Awards 2024.

Yes, Your Grace, developed by Brave at Night and published by Noodlecake, claimed the Best Indie title. Initially released on PC in 2020, its mobile debut this year solidified its success.

Honkai: Star Rail won Best Ongoing for its consistent updates and wealth of content. Tab Time World by Kids at Play secured Best for Families, and Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance took home the prize for Best Play Pass game. Finally, Cookie Run: Tower of Adventures was named Best Game on Google Play Games for PC.
