Valve does not disclose exact revenue figures, and the order of games in the lists is random. The statistics cover the period from January 1 to December 15, 2023. In addition to the annual ranking, Valve also published a list of top sellers for the past week, which included Helldivers 2, No Rest for the Wicked, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76.

Here are the companies that earned the most on the Steam platform:

  • Valve: Developer and publisher of Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, and Half-Life, which all made it to the top sales and most-played lists.

  • Electronic Arts: Publisher of Apex Legends and EA Sports FC 24, which landed in the platinum category and the top new releases of the year, respectively.

  • Activision: Publisher of Call of Duty and Destiny 2, both of which were among the top sellers.

  • Bethesda Softworks hit the jackpot with the controversial Starfield, one of the best-selling yet unsuccessful new releases of the year.

  • Larian Studios earned their place on the list with their magnificent Baldur's Gate III. It was the top-selling new release on PC and the most popular game on Steam Deck.
