The new Steam Best of 2023 feature shows which games made the most money this year

As we get closer to the end of the year, Valve has posted a new feature on its Steam digital PC game store. The Best of Steam - 2023 lists don't show the best reviewed games on the service, but rather which games made the most money between January 1 and December 15.

Valve does not offer specific revenue numbers for the games in its library, but rather groups them into categories like Platinum (the highest), Gold, Silver and Bronze. For the top selling games on Steam, the Platinum list included 12 games (in no particular order)

• Apex Legends
• Starfield

• Hogwarts Legacy
