Today Valve revealed the best selling games on Steam for 2021. In these lists Valve has four categories; platinum, gold, silver and bronze. These are the 100 best selling games of 2021. The listings within these categories are randomized. This means you know a game in the platinum list had more gross revenue than a game in the gold list, but it doesn’t tell you which games in the gold lists had the most gross revenue.
