Valve have put collectively their “Greatest Of 2023” lists on Steam. That is totally different from the Steam Awards, voting for which is ongoing, and as an alternative is constructed from Steam knowledge like income, peak concurrent gamers, and so forth. It is attention-grabbing yearly as older video games or indie obscurities do higher than you anticipate.
For any knowledge based mostly on income, the video games are separated into buckets known as platinum, gold, silver and bronze. Place inside these buckets is then randomised. There’s due to this fact no solution to know whether or not Baldur’s Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 made more cash in 2023, however they’re each within the Platinum bucket, which places them among the many prime twelve grossing video games on Steam.
Deep sea sushi scavenger Dave The Diver seems within the bronze tier, alongside Lies Of P and Atomic Coronary heart, forever-games RimWorld, Terraria and Stardew Valley, and 2019’s Sekiro. The Finals does not seem anyplace within the prime 100, till you filter for simply video games launched in 2023, at which level it is within the gold tier. Goose Goose Duck was considered one of solely 11 video games to register over 300,000 concurrent gamers
There are additionally filters to view simply early entry, VR or Steam Deck video games. Every class has its personal set of caveats for what knowledge is used, which you’ll view on the backside of every web page. In all probability, if somebody was so inclined, it might be potential to cross-reference the listings with publicly out there monetary info to ballpark how a lot cash a “platinum” recreation makes. However I am not so inclined.
You could find the entire thing on the Steam web site.
