This week, Valve revealed its best-selling Steam games of 2019 for the digital distribution platform. In addition, the company also provided alternate categories that include Top New Releases, Top Selling VR games, Top Early Access Graduates, and the most played games that featured thousands of simultaneous players.

Steam is a gaming platform that truly needs no introduction. It is one of the largest and frequently used digital video game distribution services on the Internet that provides all manner of video games from a wide variety of creators. Whether the game is from a well-known Triple-A studio or from an unknown indie developer, Steam offers an incredibly large variety of games for users to purchase. In fact, the annual Steam Winter Sale is happening now and will end on January 2nd.

In any case, Steam revealed the best selling games of 2019 that were purchased on the platform. The games that were featured were:

  • Total War: Three Kingdoms
  • Destiny 2
  • The Elder Scrolls Online
  • Dota 2
  • PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
  • Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
  • Monster Hunter World
  • Grand Theft Auto 5
  • Rainbow Six Siege
  • Warframe
  • Civilization 6
  • Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

Steam also included an assortment of other categories for users to view, including the Top New Releases. This category features games that were strictly released in 2019 and featured the likes of Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5, and Game of the Year award winner Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

The interesting thing about the Top Sellers list is how very few games that were released in 2019 were featured. In fact, the only two games that were released in 2019 that were featured on this list were Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Total War: Three Kingdoms. Not to mention the fact that some of the games on this list, such as the award-winning Grand Theft Auto 5, are over six years old.

That being said, a lot of the games featured on this list are games that are either typically best experienced on Steam or games that users can only play on PC, such as Dota 2, which to this day is still an incredibly popular game that holds yearly tournaments. In statistical terms, it makes a lot of sense that games which are widely popular on Steam would make the list of Steam's Top Sellers.
