If you rank this year's games, who do you think the top three should be?
In 2023, when new works from major factories are frequent, this question may make people feel a little at a loss. After all, compared to the lack of masterpieces in the previous two years, this year's global game market is simply a fairy fight. Seeing that TGA announced the list of winners not long ago, many well-made masterpieces can only be nominated in front of more well-made hits, I can't help but sigh: "2023 is really a big year for games." ”
Today (December 28), Steam also announced its own list of the best of 2023. The list is divided into 7 sub-categories, and Mr. Grape thinks that the 4 categories worth paying attention to are the best-selling games, new products, and the most popular early access.
None of the lists disclose the details of the game's earnings, nor do they list a clear, specific ranking, but only show the corresponding rank level of the ranking: Platinum, **Bronze.
By comparing the lists of different subcategories, you can see who is making money on Steam this year. For example, in the 4 sub-categories mentioned above, each platinum list has "baldur".'S Gate 3;Hogwarts Legacy, Sons of the Forest, is also a platinum regular;Starfield has received mixed reviews so far, but that doesn't prevent it from making it to the top of multiple platinum lists.
In addition to the above-mentioned overseas stand-alone masterpieces with high discussion, there are also many domestic games in the list:
Naraka: Bladepoint is one of the best-selling games with a peak player count of over 150,000"Beast Party" entered the best-selling game ** list and new product ** list, with a peak number of players exceeding 80,000;"Soul Mahjong" entered the list of best-selling games;

In addition, "The Legend of the Heroes: Blue Blood Pill Heart" and "Looking for Immortality" are among the early access ** list;"Eight Wildernesses of Ghost Valley", "Animal Maze", "Peerless Good Martial Arts", "Man Tingfang: Song Shang Prosperous" were shortlisted for the Early Access ** list;The peak number of players in Virtual Table Pet Simulator exceeded 80,000 ......
Combined with the previous TGA nominations and awards, the popularity and influence of domestic games around the world may indeed be gradually increasing.
