There are a lot of variations in this list, including megahits like Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V &#8211; yes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/gta-growth-continues-impressively\/\">it is still going strong<\/a>), Valve&#8217;s own game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and granular games like Stellaris. This is the first time the company has made this list of most sold Steam games. The games are sorted into tiers, with the first 12 labeled &#8220;Platinum&#8221;, the next 12 &#8220;Gold&#8221;, 25-40 &#8220;Silver&#8221;, and the rest is grouped into &#8220;Bronze&#8221; category.<\/p>\n<p>One interesting point is that the ranking doesn&#8217;t provide any specifics for each games, or why one game is ranked higher than another in one given category. What was the total revenue for each game, how much was made from in-game purchases (IAP, if any) versus initial sale, etc. those information were not also present. However, it is still an interesting breakdown of the market, for us to see which game people are willing to buy. Obviously, games in the &#8220;Platinum&#8221; category has the biggest revenue, such as Fallout 4, The Witcher 3, etc. Games with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/pc-port-problem\/\">problematic PC ports<\/a> are not faring as well as expected, such as Dishonored 2 (&#8220;Bronze&#8221;), and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (&#8220;Silver&#8221;).<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/steam-top-100-e1483490067568.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/steam-top-100-e1483490067568.png\" height=\"250\" width=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36368 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"most sold steam games\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Another interesting fact is that free-to-play (F2P) games seems to be doing very well on Steam. DotA 2 and Warframe were approaching the top of the list, while the likes of Smite and War Thunder stayed at the middle of the pack. This further shows that the revenue from F2P games are more than enough to sustain them in the Steam market, if the game gives enough incentive for people to do IAP.<\/p>\n<h3>Most sold Steam games in 2016: No surprise<\/h3>\n<p>Overall, the list of most sold Steam games in 2016 is not really surprising, with stellar games still sold the most. Hopefully in 2017 we will get even better games.
