Overview
- Steam’s year-end Best of 2025 page identifies the top tier of new releases by revenue without a ranked order, based on Valve’s Steam Charts data.
- The Platinum group of 12 includes ARC Raiders, Battlefield 6, Elden Ring: Nightreign, Borderlands 4, Civilization VII, EA Sports FC 26, Monster Hunter Wilds, Dune: Awakening, Hollow Knight: Silksong, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Schedule 1.
- Nine of the 12 titles feature multiplayer elements or focus, underscoring the continued commercial pull of online and live-service designs on Steam.
- Only ARC Raiders and Schedule 1 are new IP, with Schedule 1 self-published; developer reports cite Silksong surpassing seven million sales across platforms in its first four months and Schedule 1 generating tens of millions in revenue during Early Access.
- Ordered rankings and independently verified totals are expected after the calendar year ends when firms such as Circana and Newzoo release post-year analyses.
