Now that the new year is here, Valve is looking back on 2017 in the gaming community on Steam. The company has revealed the top PC games of the year — this time including a couple new categories — and has discounted many of them. Although the lists do not give any specific sales numbers, they provide an interesting account on the top Steam games of 2017.
The categories begin with Top Sellers, which are listed based on gross revenue. Interestingly, most of the games in the top tier of the category weren’t even released in 2017, and some are actually free to play. The category includes 100 games in all, but check out the 12 top-selling Steam games below.
- Ark: Survival Evolved (2017) – marked down 60% to $23.99
- Divinity: Original Sin II (2017) – marked down 10% to $40.49
