As 2025 winds down, gamers eagerly await the final verdict on this year’s best-selling titles on Steam, the largest PC gaming platform. Although the ultimate rankings are still pending, Steam Charts has already highlighted the top 100 revenue-generating games. Among the standout titles in the top 12 are ARC Raiders, Schedule I, Hollow Knight Silksong, and Battlefield 6, showcasing a mix of new releases.
Best-Selling Games of 2025
For games released in 2025, the list is dominated by multiplayer experiences. Nine out of the twelve top sellers offer multiplayer modes or focus heavily on multiplayer gameplay. Titles such as Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, PUBG, Apex Legends, and Marvel Rivals maintain their stronghold among overall top sellers. On the flip side, single-player adventures like Hollow Knight Silksong, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II prove that solo journeys remain highly valued by players.
Remarkable New Entries
The narrative changes when considering new games launched in 2025. ARC Raiders and Schedule I stand out not only for their sales figures but also because they are fresh entries in the gaming world, not derived from existing franchises. Schedule I’s success is particularly noteworthy as it’s a self-published indie game. Meanwhile, Dune: Awakening offers players a multiplayer experience that doesn’t require constant interaction with others, further diversifying the top list.

- Battlefield 6
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Looking Forward
As we await the definitive rankings from industry analysts like Circana and Newzoo, the current list already provides a glimpse into gaming trends. Interestingly, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, despite being a major franchise, didn’t surpass Battlefield 6 or Borderlands 4 in sales. The prominence of ARC Raiders and Schedule I highlights the market’s appetite for novel and innovative gaming experiences.
