Every year, Steam tends to organizethe top-grossing titlesin four different categories, including Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. In 2020, while there are still some familiar faces that we regularly see every year, some unexpected guests also shine among them, likeAmong Us.
Grand Theft Auto V,Dota 2, andCounter-Strike: Global Offensiveare probably those familiar faces that couldn’t be placed anywhere other than the Platinum category, thanks to their huge communities. On the other hand,Cyberpunk 2077also shows off itsstrong performance in saleson PC, despite all the challenges that the game facedon last-gen consoles. Given that CD Projekt RED’s latest hit has been launched only 15 days before Steam rolled out the statistics of this year, it’s kind of outstanding to get a place in the Platinum category.
With some further look at the Platinum group, you can easily spotAmong UsandFall Guys Ultimate Knockout. Probably, this year’s funniest multiplayer games that reached some unexpected milestones in the case of sales and popularity. It’s probably even more surprising for the developers behindAmong Usthat saw the resurrection of their games in an unbelievable way almost two years after launch.
Going down the list, some ongoing multiplayer games likeDestiny 2,Monster Hunter World,PUBG, andRainbow Six Siegealso managed to place themselves in the Platinum category.
Stepping down to the Gold category,Baldur’s Gate 3,Phasmophobia,Halo: The Master Chief Collection, andCrusader Kings 3are this year’s notable launches on Steam that managed to have some great performance in gross revenue.
Microsoft Flight SimulatorandHades, two critically acclaimed games that brought some ground-breaking standards to their genres couldn’t find any place better than the Silver category at Steam’s top-grossing games of 2020.
Last but not least,Football Manager 2021, one of the lately arrived titles of 2020, announced as one of the top-grossing games of the Bronze group, which is not so bad for the game regarding its late November release date.
