Google has revealed its list of the apps and games who have won at its Play award categories for 2024. The list of games includes long-time favorites such as Clash of Clans and Honkai: Star Rail, as well relative newcomers like AFK Journey. According to Google, two of the honorees this year were chosen specifically because of their strong consistency across multiple devices.
