Steam Reveals 2017’s Biggest Moneymakers

Valve has come out with a list of the top 100 moneymakers on Steam for 2017, and while it includes a fair share of expected and consistently profitable titles such as The Witcher 3, GTA V, and Rocket League, there were a decent amount of surprises making the list.

The Top 12:

• H1Z1
• The Witcher 3
• Divinity: Original Sin 2 
• Rainbow Six Siege
• Dota 2
• Ark: Survival Evolved 
• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
• GTA V
• Rocket League
• Warframe
• PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds 
• Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands

Valve arrived at this by taking into account game sales, DLC, and in-game transactions. While we know roughly where a game placed on the list, we don’t know exact revenue numbers; nor where in each tier an individual game falls.

Valve also published a list of the most played games of 2017, which, not surprisingly, sees a lot of overlap with the biggest earners for the year.
