The dawn of a new year is a great time to reflect on the one that’s passed. That’s the approach Steam is taking. To celebrate the dawn of 2017, it’s announced the 100 best selling games on the service in 2016. Some are unsurprising, like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Grand Theft Auto V, The Division, Rocket League, and No Man’s Sky . Others, like Stardew Valley and Youtubers Life , are. It’s an interesting peek into the mindset of Steam shoppers.
Since lists make everything easier, let’s go over the crème de la crème. Steam has divided these 100 games into platinum, gold, silver, and bronze tiers. To help salute the best, let’s look at the platinum and gold sellers.
Platinum
- CS: GO
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Total War: Warhammer
- The Division
- Rocket League
- No Man’s Sky
- DOTA 2
- Civilization VI
- XCOM 2
- Dark Souls III
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Fallout 4
Gold
- Stellaris
- Stardew Valley
- ARK: Survival Evolved
- Call of Duty: Black Ops III
- Warframe
- Rise of the Tomb Raider: 30 Year Celebration
- Arma III
- Dead by Daylight
- Team Fortress 2
- DOOM
- H1Z1: King of the Kill

All of these games are rather obvious winners. I bet the winter Steam sale really helped push these numbers higher. If you haven’t played any of the above, then definitely put The Witcher 3, Stardew Valley , Rocket League , and Civilization VI on your wishlist!
