Just before the year comes to a close, Valve has released its list of top games on Steam, as measured by gross revenue, peak concurrent players, and active players. Exact revenue figures weren’t shared, but games are categorized by platinum, gold, silver, and bronze tiers.
In the platinum tier of 2022’s top sellers are Dying Light 2: Stay Human, Elden Ring (big surprise, right?), Monster Hunter Rise, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.
Free-to-play games like Destiny 2, Apex Legends, and Valve’s own DOTA 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive are fellow top sellers.
Monster Hunter Rise and Modern Warfare II are also in the platinum group of new releases, joined by Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and V Rising.
