Theannual Steam Best of the Year list is now live, showing the top games by revenue, player count and more this year. And, as per usual, we're interested in what MMOs and MMO-adjacent titles made Steam's list. Looks like quite a few.
When sorting by revenue, Lost Ark, Destiny 2, and APEX Legends all sit in the Platinum category alongside heavy hitters Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. Warframe and military MMO War Thunder sit in the Gold category, as well as Netease's battle royale Naraka: Bladepoint. Yet the party doesn't stop there, with New World, ARK Survival Ascended, The Elder Scrolls Online, Final Fantasy XIV, and Black Desert all sitting in the Silver section — quite the showing for the mostly buy-to-play MMOs (FFXIV does require a subscription)
When sorting by «Most Played» Lost Ark and Destiny 2 are right there at the top again with over 300K peak players this year. Path of Exile and Naraka sit in the Gold category at over 150K peak players, while more traditional MMOs fall off, with FFXIV in the Bronze category alongside Sea of Thieves, andNew World with over 40K peak in 2023.
It's always interested to see where these games land, especially as many of them are also available with their own stand-alone launchers or on other platforms — so the Steam audience really only makes up one part of the whole in many cases. Interestingly enough, MMOs basically drop off entirely when sorting by the most Steam Deck played games in 2023 — especially as many of them just aren't playable in that form factor (or at all thanks to the anti-cheat some games use).
And, as usual, many of these games are on sale, so make sure to check out the Steam Winter sale — and if you're curious as to what MMOs and multiplayer games we think are worth the (reduced) price of admission, check out our buying guide.

As fun as it is to buy a brand-new game, sometimes it just isn't feasible with the budget, but, luckily, many games are available as free-to-play on Steam. While it is easy to mistakenly assume that a free game is smaller or not as well-designed, this is not the case when it comes to many of the options on the PC gaming platform. The list of free games on Steam can include everything from long-running MMOs, such as , to the social simulation behemoth,, and although there may be additional purchases available within the games, there is a lot of content that can be enjoyed for free.

Valve has unveiled its annual ‘Best of 2023' list on Steam, revealing which titles dominated sales on PC. The titles haven't been numerically ranked, but have been grouped into tiers — Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze — based on data collected from January 1 through December 15, 2023. The Top 12 category is populated by both free-to-play multiplayer games and the biggest launches, with the award-winning Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077, and Hogwarts Legacy emerging as the best-selling titles. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which was disliked by both fans and critics alike, also made it to higher echelons, thanks to a dedicated fanbase wanting to experience its multiplayer segment.
Valve has released their annual Best of Steam 2023, a showcase of what was played most and made the most money broken down into roughly grouped tiers: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. In a year of absolutely great games, some of these chart-toppers aren't surprises, but dang I'd never have guessed that Half-Life, the 1998 classic, would make the top tier of the most-played Steam Deck games by daily active players.
SBS Drama Awards 2023 is all set to take place this. Recently, SBS faced a controversy regarding its declaration of the other criteria for the Best Couple Award category. The issue occurred after the network already held an online vote for the same category. My Demon’s Song Kang and Kim Yoo-Jung won in the online vote as the best couple by a huge margin.
Our Game of the Year coverage continues with the Best PS5, PS4 Remake, Remaster, or Re-Release of 2023, of which a top four has been put together by the Push Square editorial team. This category celebrates games that have already released and were brought back this year, either in their original form or updated with better visuals and more features.
2023 was a huge year for PlayStation 5, with Sony finally able to cut loose and produce consoles without any of the constraints of the last few years. There’s now over 50 million PS5 consoles out in the wild, as they’ve taken a firm grasp of this generation, and then there’s the launch of the PlayStation VR 2 to hopefully rekindle their ambitions for virtual reality.
Steam has released its annual end-of-year charts, ranking the games that have generated the most cold-hard cash on the digital PC storefront. Frequent chart-toppers this year include the obvious subjects (Baldur’s Gate 3, Starfield), as well as the games that silently crushed it (Sons of the Forest, Goose Goose Duck.)
Starfield was one of the best-performing games on Steam this year, alongside Baldur's Gate 3, Destiny 2, Sons of the Forest, and more. This is despite its mixed reception among general players, so much so that the game has slipped into "mostly negative" reviews on Steam.
