The results of the Steam Award 2021 are out and Resident Evil Village has won the game of the year, as voted by members of the Steam community. Resident Evil Village is one of the most popular FPS games of 2021, with fans allowed to experience it somewhat before the game’s release, thanks in no small part to Lady Dimitrescu’s immense popularity.

The title has sold over five million copies to date, and many more are likely to be sold, once the DLC is expected to be revealed in more detail. Critics’ reception of RE8 has been quite positive, with many describing it as combining the best elements of Resident Evil 7 – a first-person horror game with context and action. than that of Resident Evil 4.
Resident Evil Village won the PS4 game of the year award at the PlayStation Blog, which won four Golden Joystick awards (including last game of the year and PlayStation game of the year). Additionally, Maggie Robertson (who shot motion and voiced Lady Dimitrescu) won best performance at The Game Awards 2021.
