Steam now lets you check out each month’s top 50 best-selling games, and scroll all the way back to Half-Life 2’s release if you want to feel mega old

Steam’s charts continue to be one of the best sources of information across the entire industry when it comes to sales, player activity and a lot more. Steam has always had the big Top Sellers chart, which lists the platform’s top-grossing games, and tracks their movements within it each day.

You could also see each month’s top-selling games, but thanks to a new update, the monthly lists are a lot more detailed and relevant.

The big Top Sellers page on Steam has the current chart, weekly, as well as monthly. Valve has refreshed the monthly charts to include 50 games, sorted by revenue. All sales charts across Steam are based on game revenue, which is why free-to-play games often occupy the top spots.

The refresh now allows you browse every month from April 2025, all the way back to November 2004 – when Half-Life 2 was initially released. The monthly reports are nicer to look at, too, starting off with a trailer for every game in question.

The list can even include pieces of DLC, assuming they’re popular enough to rank among the top 50 games. The new layout will make that clear as you browse. For even more accurate details, you can filter by genre, theme, style, supported feature, or tag.

Valve explained that the data is based on the first two weeks of revenue for each title released during that month. Each month is split into three tiers: gold (12 games), silver (next 12), and bronze (all the rest).

One of the big advantages of this refresh is that reports will be now be automatically compiled, meaning that you’ll find the previous month’s report exactly 14 days into the next one. The only problem is that, if a game is not available in your region, you won’t be able to see it on the list, even if it’s included in the top 50.
