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.
