Valve has released its annual ranking of total sales of games sold on Steam, and the Best of 2020 page includes a variety of data counted in six categories: top sellers, new releases, most played games, early access alumni games, "Best of VR," and "Controller Games" are counted in six categories; Valve provides these lists in no particular order, so we don't know which games were top sellers, but the top 12, 13th to 24th, 25th to 40th, and 41st to 100th games are We know.

Not surprisingly, the games that were big sellers on Steam were the ones we've seen break records for throughout the year: Valve's free-to-play Dota 2 and CS:GO did well, while Grand Theft Auto V and Playerunknown's Battlegrounds have also seen success, while viral hits like Among Us and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout make up the lineup alongside classic blockbusters.

Following are the 12 top-selling games of 2020 in terms of total sales:

The only surprise would be "Monster Hunter: World," which was released two years ago, but in 2020 it outpaced such promising titles as "Mount & Blade 2" and "Crusader Kings 3" outpaced such promising titles as "Mount & Blade 2" and "Crusader Kings 3", which only managed to stay in 13th to 24th place on the bestseller list.

Here are the 11 most played games in 2020, as determined by the number of simultaneous players at their peak exceeding 200,000. A very similar list:

"Life is Strange 2" might surprise a certain kind of head-over-heels gamer who isn't quite sure how popular narrative games have become. For more categories, see Valve's Best of 2020 page, and for more on how it works, see the Best of 2020 blog post.
