Valve reveal Steam’s best-selling games of 2020A whole lotta lists from Valve
A whole lotta lists from Valve
We’ve told you what we think arethe best PC games of 2020(well, as many as we could fit), but what about cold, hard business? For folks who want metrics and money, Valve have revealed the best-selling games on Steam of 2020. They’re a bit vague about it, mind.
Valve avoid giving numbers or even a definitive ranking for anything. They sort games into ‘bands’, largely not explaining the metrics defining these, and randomly shuffle the order in which they’re presented. So you can broadly see which are successful, but not which is the most successful nor how any compare to others within their band. And they are missing the end of December (and thereforeSteam Winter Sale), obvs.
For your convenience, I’ve re-sorted all Valve’s lists into alphabetical order. I’ve also only included the top bands. The full lists of games (many, many more games) are upon Steamright now (switch between categories with the tabs), along with a few extrawords from Valve.
This covers the cost of the game itself plus DLC and in-game purchases. The list’s mostly what you’d expect, though it is impressive thatCyberpunk 2077crept in despite launching in December. And it’s neat thatAmong Usmade the revenue list despite only costing £4. Whole lot of folks suspicious of their pals this year.

“Better yet, VR controllers simulate your hands in-game, letting you interact with her more directly,” the devs say. “Just imagine all the possibilities!” Never be curious, Alice.

Also nothing to do with sales. Even as a Destiny player whose raid group includes someone on controller, I am surprised to see it here. That’s probably because the MMOFPS has enough players to brute-force it into the top tier but damn.
