Steam Shares Its Best-Selling Games of 2023

3.3

Just days before the end of the year, Steam is sharing a list of the platform's best-selling games from 2023. While the list features many of the best games of 2023, there are also some older, ongoing titles as well as some genuine surprises.

While the list itself is a fun look back on the year, it also serves as a chance to check out discounts on some of the best games of the past 12 months thanks to Steam's ongoing winter sale. Not only can fans see which of their favorite games managed to land in the top 100 best-selling Steam games from the past year, but they can also add some new titles to their backlog by grabbing the software while currently discounted.

Steam is sharing the 100 best-selling games on the platform from January 1, 2023, to December 15, 2023. The digital storefront divided the best-selling titles of the year into four different sales tiers: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Platinum represents the top 12 best-selling games of the year, while Gold features titles 13-24, Silver represents 25-50, and Bronze displays the rest. Within the categories, however, Steam claims that games are listed in random order as "revenue specifics are not disclosed."
