It's the end of 2018 and you know what that means? No, it's not that. Nor is it that. Ew, stop it. Alright, I'll just tell you instead. It's time for Steam's "Best of 2018" lists! You probably actually guessed that given the title, but that's besides the point. Valve has compiled some lists that take a look back at the games released in 2018. These include the top sellers for the year, the best VR titles, and more! Granted, most of these were probably just automatically compiled via Steam's stat tracking, but they're still fun to take a look at.
The catch here is that Valve really doesn't disclose figures. They do, however, break down the best games in each category in tiers that include Platinum (1-12 top sellers), Gold (13-24), Silver (25-40), and Bronze (41-100). For instance, the overall best selling games in 2018 include:
- Far Cry 5
- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
- PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
- Rainbow Six Siege
- Monster Hunter World
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Rocket League
- Civilization VI
- Warframe
- Dota 2
- The Elder Scrolls Online
- Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Also of note are some of the best selling virtual reality games of 2018. These games include hits like Pavlov, Superhot VR, Beat Saber, and VR Kanojo (pictured at top). There are more, but I'll let you check out the full lists for yourself.
