Valve's annual Steam rankings highlight top games by gross revenue, concurrent player counts, and other metrics from January 1 to December 15, 2024.
Black Myth: Wukong achieved the highest peak concurrent player count among new releases in 2024, with 2.4 million players, followed by Palworld at 2.1 million.
Top-grossing new releases in the Platinum category include Black Myth: Wukong, Helldivers 2, Path of Exile 2, Manor Lords, and Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
Longstanding hits such as Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, and Counter-Strike 2 continued their success, bolstered by expansions and updates.
Starfield, a top performer in 2023, was notably absent from the 2024 rankings, reflecting a significant drop in sales performance.
