Hi chefs,

As we’re drawing ever closer to the holidays, we hope you’re all having a fantastic time with those you hold dear – perhaps while playing the latest free Overcooked! 2 update, Kevin’s Christmas Cracker?

In any case, we’re extremely excited to share with you that Overcooked! 2 has been nominated for the Better with Friends award at The Steam Awards – and that’s all thanks to you! All finalists were nominated by players, so we quite literally couldn’t have done this without you. THANK YOU!

We still need your help, however. While we’re honoured to even be nominated for this award, we do need your help to win the award itself. Do you think Overcooked! 2 is the best nominee for the Better with Friends category this year? Would you like to help us secure the win? Then all you have to do is vote!

YOU CAN VOTE HERE - https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards/
Voting is open from December 20th until January 3rd.

To all of our chefs, we want to thank you for having played and supported Overcooked! 2 this year. We couldn’t be happier with our community and we’re looking forward to even more fun in the kitchen in 2019. Hope to see you then!
