Steam charts: most popular games, 8-14 December, 2018

Steam may be facing competition in the form of the Epic Games and Discord store, but there’s still plenty that we can learn from studying the most popular games on Valve’s platform. It’s useful to know what titles players are excited about, whether that’s finding new games to play from the top global sellers, or helping us settle debates over what titles boast the most concurrent players. It’s the second week of December and there is a healthy mix of genres and budgets represented in the global top sellers list, while over in the Steam charts by concurrent players there are no new faces, but a couple of position changes to note. In the first portion of our Steam charts breakdown we will look at global sales, which tell us the new games, most significant sales, and highly anticipated DLC releases of the week. We get this information from the Steam store itself, und the global top sellers page. The second, much briefer portion of our weekly roundup focuses on the top Steam games by concurrent players. 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.
