After losing its crown earlier this month, Palworld has failed to reclaim the title of top-grossing game on Steam. But there were still enough changes on the platform’s charts last week.

Steam has summed up 2023, calling it a “landmark year for Valve.” The platform set several new records, while also introducing multiple features/improvements for both players and developers.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, an auto shooter based on the world of the original co-op FPS by Ghost Ship Games, has proven to be a surprise hit. And it looks like even the studio itself didn’t expect such a strong player interest.

It’s been almost two weeks since the launch of Helldivers 2, but player interest in the game is only growing. The co-op third-person shooter, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by PlayStation, may soon enter the top 20 most played titles on Steam of all time.

Another week, another dive into Steam’s global top sellers. And after Palworld’s three-week reign, it looks like we finally have a new king.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has reached a new milestone, reaching over 500k user reviews on Steam. This makes it one of the most-reviewed games on the platform of all time, ahead of many other successful releases.

The number of active players in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has quickly dropped on Steam. It now has fewer concurrent users than Batman: Arkham Knight, Rocksteady’s previous game released nine years ago.

Helldivers 2 has just launched on Steam and PlayStation 5, and player interest is definitely there. The game has already become Sony’s biggest launch on Steam in terms of peak concurrent players.

Palworld continues to dominate the Steam charts for the third week in a row. None of the new releases, including Perosna 3 Reload and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, managed to dethrone the hit survival game.

Persona 3 Reload has just been released globally to critical acclaim. We’ll have to wait before Sega shares the official sales figures, but the game’s performance on Steam already indicates a strong launch.

The beginning of 2024 turned out to be extremely successful for Japanese developers. Granblue Fantasy: Relink, a new RPG developed and published by Cygames, is now doing big numbers on Steam.

Palworld continues to break records. The hit survival game from Japanese indie team Pocketpair has reached 12 million units sold on Steam in less than two weeks.

Steam’s latest weekly chart is full of interesting shifts and strong debuts. For example, Enshrouded became the 2nd highest-grossing game on the platform among both premium and free-to-play products, proving to be a massive success for Keen Games.

It is no secret that Steam players love open world survival games with crafting elements. And the launch of Keen Games’ new title Enshrouded proves that the studio has chosen the right niche.

It is no secret that Steam is flooded with tens of thousands of games. But here is how its catalog size compared to consoles and how the number of games on each platform changed over time.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has been another success for Owlcat Games. According to GameDiscoverCo’s estimates, it became the highest-grossing new release on Steam last month.

Polish indie developer Artur Smiarowski has shared results for its sandbox roguelike Soulash 2 one month after its Early Access launch. Here is how it performed compared to the first game, and why the EA model was chosen for the sequel.

Steam has made new changes to its policies that will make it easier to release games using AI technology. However, developers will have to promise that their products won’t contain any illegal content.

It is time to look back at another record year for Steam in terms of new game releases. Today we are exploring the top titles of 2023 by player count and user rating, while also digging into other data about the platform in general.
