Ventas en Steam en 2024

There are few things we like more than a good list of games. And if that list of games is ordered by number of sales, turn off the lights and let’s go. Well, Steam has made us happy with its “Best of 2023” list, grouping the games by number of sales.

As you know, Steam is the largest PC gaming client in the world. In other words, it is a platform used by hundreds of millions of players worldwide.

For this reason, the list of best-selling games on Steam is very good to get an idea of how certain video games have performed throughout the year. In this case, Steam does not provide specific figures, but has made four categories depending on the number of sales: platinum, gold, silver, and bronze.

Best-selling games on Steam in 2023

The data includes sales from January 1, 2023 to December 15, 2023. The top 11 highest-grossing titles on Steam in 2023 were:

  • Counter-Strike 2
  • Starfield
  • Sons of the Forest
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • PUBG: Battlegrounds
  • Hogwarts Legacy
  • Baldur’s Gate 3
  • Destiny 2
  • Apex Legends
  • Call of Duty
  • Dota 2

There are no big surprises here, except perhaps the overwhelming success of the indie horror game Sons of the Forest and the fact that Destiny 2, despite all its problems, remains a popular game in the Steam community.

Interestingly, Valve’s data also includes the “Most Played Games” on Steam Deck, which are measured by daily active players. Alongside usual suspects like Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil 4, and Starfield, we also find Grand Theft Auto V, a decade old, Half-Life, 25 years old, Dave the Diver, Elden Ring, and Vampire Survivors.

As a reminder, Valve is also about to announce the Steam Awards voted by the community in 11 different categories. You have until January 2, 2024 at 10 AM Pacific Time to cast your vote on this page.
