Unsurprisingly many showings from Bethesda games, partly due to the Fallout Anthology if we had to make a guess.

If you’re anything like us, you’ll look at what did well in Australia.

So you can see Counter-Strike Global Offensive performed very well this year. So this is pure sales, not just games released this year. SteamSpy has shared more charts, so be sure to visit it in case you’re interested in sales for specific countries. Just remember that this table of data only includes activations/purchases from April 1st to December 20th. It’s interesting to see more indie games in the top 10 amongst the GTA V’s and Fallouts. H1Z1, Rocket League, Cities: Skylines, Prison Architect, Besiege, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Dying Light. Mad Max sold less than Batman: Arkham Knight. Mad Max didn’t make a great showing despite impressing gamers who may have written it off as a typical movie tie-in. It will be interesting to compare MGSV and Call of Duty: Black Ops III on consoles as that’s traditionally where their target market is. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, one of the most optimized PC games and received a huge amount of critical and public acclaim, wasn’t able to crack the 1 million sold copies (on Steam). We even have our own ARK server you can learn about in the forum.Īs we can see, there are also some surprises in this chart. We’ve been having a blast with these three games so it comes as no surprise to us that they’re some of the top games released this year.

Grand Theft Auto V is the best selling game that was released this year on Steam, followed by Fallout 4 and ARK: Survival Evolved. While the year isn’t over just yet, we can safely draw some conclusions on the order as we head into Christmas (Merry Christmas) The year is coming to a close and it’s time to see the preliminary results for the best selling games on Steam in 2015.
