Steam charts: most popular games, 15-21 December, 2018

It’s nearly Christmas, which means the gaming industry is going into hibernation (boo!), but also that there’s a massive Steam Winter Sale with over 15,000 games on sale (hooray!). Better still, some of the biggest and best PC releases this year are among the sales, including Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Jurassic World: Evolution, Far Cry 5, and Monster Hunter: World. So, what effect has Valve’s latest deluge of bargains had on our weekly rundown of the Steam charts? Quite a big one it turns out, but only if you’re looking at the Steam global top sellers list, which reveals plenty of discounts on top 2018 games. There is also the odd piece of DLC here as well, but mostly it’s a week dominated by Steam sales. The list of Steam top sellers changes all of the time, but it takes something special to break up the established order of the Steam charts by concurrent players. Join us as we list the top ten games for each category and provide you with a brief analysis of the week’s biggest surprises.
