We are closing in on the end of 2018, which means we’ll be seeing plenty of ‘top 10’, GOTY and best seller lists over the next week or two. Valve has been revealing the top selling games on Steam each year for a few years now. This year, the ‘top 100’ is looking a bit different, with The Witcher 3 falling out of the ‘Platinum’ category and a few other games rising through the ranks.

The ‘Platinum’ tier represents the highest selling 12 games of the year. For 2018, the list includes:

  • Grand Theft Auto V
  • The Elder Scrolls Online
  • Civilization VI
  • Dota 2
  • Monster Hunter World
  • Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
  • CS:GO
  • Rocket League
  • Far Cry 5
  • PUBG
  • Rainbow Six Siege
  • Warframe

As you can see, Ubisoft has had an excellent year on Steam, with three games appearing in the top 12. Monster Hunter’s debut on PC in the west has paid off very nicely, meanwhile, the rest of the list is about what you would expect. GTA V continues to be a cash cow, while PUBG is still doing perfectly well despite competition from Fortnite. The real surprise this year is that The Elder Scrolls Online managed to garner a chunk of sales, with lots of new players joining the fold.

The Gold tier this year houses The Witcher 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, Assassin’s Creed Origins, ARK: Survival Evolved, Dead By Daylight, Path of Exile, Stellaris, Cities Skylines, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Jurassic World Evolution and Black Desert Online Remastered.

The Silver tier this year is a bit more surprising. Dragon ball FighterZ made the cut, but given that it was a best-seller on consoles, I’m surprised it didn’t make it into the gold tier. Fallout 4 continues to sell well on Steam, unfortunately the same can’t be said for the Tomb Raider franchise, with Shadow of the Tomb Raider just barely making the cut. Final Fantasy XV and Ghost Recon Wildlands also fell down to the silver tier this year. Frost Punk, Vermintide 2, Raft, No Man’s Sky, Subnautica and a few other indies fill out the rest of the list.

Rise of the Tomb Raider and Artifact are first up in the Bronze tier, followed by Dark Souls 3, XCOM 2, Darkest Dungeon, Ni No Kuni II, Skyrim and a slew of other titles. The full top 100 can be found, HERE.

KitGuru Says: I always enjoy seeing lists like this. Ubisoft seems to have had an incredible year on Steam, ESO is doing surprisingly well, Monster Hunter was an absolute hit on PC, and more than a few indie games managed to keep up with the Triple A releases. Which games did you pick up on Steam throughout the year?

The Steam Summer Sale will be coming to a close shortly, but first, Valve is taking the opportunity to reveal the top selling games on Steam so far in 2018. As we saw in the 2017 bestsellers list, games are broken down into platinum, gold, silver and bronze categories. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Grand Theft Auto V and PUBG still sit in the upper echelon.

While exact sales figures for each game are hidden, these sections are a good indication of what is currently popular on Steam. In the Platinum section, we have the usual suspects like Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege, CS:GO, Dota 2, GTA V and PUBG. However, some more surprising additions are still hanging out in the top spot, including Kingdom Come Deliverance, Civ VI, Vermintide 2, Far Cry 5 and Warframe.

The gold section is perhaps the most interesting. Leading the charge is Dragonball FighterZ, proving that fighting games are still very popular on PC. The Elder Scrolls Online also makes an appearance in this section, showing that Bethesda and Zenimax have been winning people over with its expansions.

Divinity Original Sin II, Subnautica, Total War Warhammer II, Path of Exile, Stellaris, Final Fantasy XV, Assassin's Creed Origins, ARK, Black Desert Online and The Witcher 3 make up the rest of the gold sellers section.

The silver section is about what you would expect, featuring Fallout 4, Frost Punk, Dark Souls III, Nier Automata, Dead By Daylight and a few others. The Bronze section is massive too, so it is well worth checking out the full list.

KitGuru Says: Did any of you pick up some new games during the Steam Summer Sale? I must admit, seeing GTA V still being classed as a best seller is surprising, we clearly haven't reached a declining point for that game just yet. It will be very interesting to see how much this list changes at the end of the year.
