Best of Steam - 2023

A look back at the year's top sellers, new releases, most-played games, and more!

I’m really surprised Remnant 2 is platinum. I knew it was popular, but to be up there with the best selling AAA games is impressive.

    What is sad is that 6 of the 12 platinum games rated by top revenue are free to play games - so must be making money on micro transactions. Sad that model works so well for extracting cash out of players.

      I don’t understand people who spend money on these games. Even if I enjoy it spending money just feels like some scam that I don’t find it enticing with how the whole game feels like an advertisement.

        Kids. It’s kids spending their allowance. Source: had to clamp down and say no more robux.

        And probably also streamers who aren’t spending their own money (donations and referrals probably) who make the problem worse by making it seem like everyone else has these pointless cosmetics.
