I feel like having Steam Deck included is cheating a bit since it's not really a "game" but it does show us that Steam Deck is selling enough to generate enough money to be number 1 two weeks in a row, so for whatever Valve's projections the Steam Deck is likely meeting them in sales.

Gamewise Forza Horizon 4 continues to be more popular on PC than Horizon 5, but Horizon 5 seems to be more popular on consoles as people move on from Horizon 4. I wonder why that is, I guess PC players prefer the gameplay of 4 and the low price helps.

Elden Ring is barely holding on to number 10, beaten by Titan Fall 2. that's a surprise.

Spiderman is doing well, the remaster from the Sony is holding its own on the charts, showing Jimmy boy made the right decision to expand the PlayStation ecosystem to PC.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Forza Horizon 4?

Must've been sales.

 

[Holammer]

They should exclude hardware.
Anyway, good legs on Elden Ring.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

[Holammer]

It's shameless advertising.

 

[GHG]

It's shameless advertising.

It's their product, their storefront, they can do what they want.

Nothing shameless about it.

Lots of shameless since the list is called Top 10 best selling Steam games.

Scummy as fuck.

The ranking has always been revenue based though, it was also the case long before they started selling hardware.

Why would you expect them to suddenly change it when it actually benefits them to keep things as they are?

 

[Banjo64]

Forza Horizon 4?

Must've been sales.

It’s based on revenue.

 

[adamsapple]

Titanfall 2 is less than $5 right now.

Must have sold a ton of copies to be in the top 10.

Same for FH4. That one is extra odd as there's a newer game (which is also in the list).

Steamdeck has a steamapp id so technically it's fine just like all the other games. Also steamdb is not owned by steam so it's not like steam themselves are marketing this as top seller.

Forza Horizon 4 was on sale for $20. I don’t think it’s more popular then FH5, it’s just cheaper for what’s arguably the same experience.

 

[DenchDeckard]

my steam deck putting in work!

 

[SmokedMeat]

Happy to see Cult of the Lamb up there.

Elden Ring is just a monster. I don’t think it’s even been on sale yet?

FH4 is on sale

and also still getting new content? weird

Forza Horizon 4 - Forza Horizon 4 Festival Playlist – Series 52, Week 3 - Steam News

2018 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé Snow is falling all over the British landscape as Winter arrives in the penultimate week of Series 52. If you’ve never driven across the frozen ice of Derwent Water before, you’ll have your opportunity to do so from Thursday, September 8 through the following...

on its own proprietary platform!!!

Horizon 4 was ahead even before the sale. I think PC gamers just like Horizon 4 more, and when 5 had that one sale I don't recall it listing at all, but 4 seems to chart almost every time when there's a sale, and even at times without one, while I think Horizon 5 only did that near launch.

They get the information from Vale though, that's why Steam Deck was number 2 behind Lego Starwars in week 14, they just organize the data and list the ranks. Steam Deck has been number 1 on the charts ever since then.

and also still getting new content? weird

Why would that be weird? 4 only came out in late 2018, and the new game Horizon 5 came out less than a year ago.

Because it’s 4 years old and there’s a new one. Madden 2018 isn’t getting new updates…

You must not have been paying attention to the service game model gaming has been going in for years and player number retention.

Which Madden never has.

Still not a game and an act of shameless, scummy advertising.

 

[bender]

Seems like Cult of the Lamb is appearing in a lot of top seller lists.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Still not a game and an act of shameless, scummy advertising.

 

[Sophist]

Would call this bullshit. Dota 2, Cs go, PUBG, and GTA5 are always in the top 10 sellers year after year. Destiny 2 also, i think.

I know that, I was just pointing that out to the friend saying that this is a scummy practice from Valve.

 

[Graciaus]

That many people buy 2k23? Every one of them has awful reviews.

 

[Dutchy]

Can you name any other examples of games that have done this? (remakes / remasters excluded) I'm genuinely curious. I only remember BO3 still getting content after IW released. But only for zombie's since it was so massively popular, and it was only a couple months. FH4 getting content years after release and with a newer installment being out does strike me as weird too.

 

[geary]

Forza Horizon 4? How's that possible because i heard gamepass games does not have sale. I'm confused...

/sarcasm

Read the thread title again

 

[rofif]

What idiots are buying forza if it's 1$ on gp ?
steam deck? doubt

 

[Stuart360]

Both Forza games are on sale but Forza 4 is literally half the price of 5. And like someone else said, they are very similar games just in different locations.

What idiots are buying forza if it's 1$ on gp ?
steam deck? doubt

The 140mil Steam usrs that dont have Gamepass.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

edit: disregard.

Imagine playing games on Windows store.

You dont play games on windows store for years now

Many games have support ongoing for the previous game, it's really only the annual or near annual AAA franchises that don't, and MS along you have Gears, Halo MCC, Horizon 4, Age of Empires 3, etc.

To be honest it's not that bad.

Then again I only used the game pass app.

Let's go steam deck let's go!

[R6Rider]

Titanfall 2 is awesome. Nice to see it up there.

 

[Gamezone]

84% off right now.

84% off, and still a top seller by revenue because people can't refuse a good offer. Makes me wonder how much Ubisoft lost by leaving Steam. I don't see any other launcher making such revenue from old games.
