Steam reveals the top-selling games of 2018 so far

The usual suspects

While my Steam purchasing has severely slowed down in recent years, I still catch myself eying the marketplace's top-sellers list. I like seeing what folks are into and whether or not I'm still with it.

This week, Steam has broken out a list of top sellers, top new releases by month, top VR games, and the most-played titles of the year so far. Let's take a look. (Note that these lists aren't in any particular order, as refreshing the Steam page changes the games' positioning inside their specific group.)

Top Sellers

• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
• Warframe
• Far Cry 5
• Jurassic World Evolution
• Dota 2
• Kingdom Come: Deliverance
• Grand Theft Auto V
• Rocket League
• Civilization VI

• Warhammer: Vermintide 2
• Rainbow Six Siege

Any surprises on here? I like to think I keep up with VR decently enough but there were a couple of titles that I hadn't even heard of before. I am glad to see games like Vermintide 2 and Subnautica represented. Most everything else is pretty much to be expected; people love them some Warframe and Dota 2.
