PUBG is one of the OG battle royale games. But it hasn’t always had a free-to-play option. That’s where Battlegrounds comes in. And, despite the mixed reviews on Steam, it still brings in the players, making it one of the most played games on the platform.

As 2024 draws to a close, Steam celebrates a remarkable year with its annual 'Best of Steam' list, highlighting the most successful games.

Valve never shows individual total gross revenue numbers of its best-selling titles; instead, it groups them into Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze categories.

It’s a tad rote to extol the virtues of Valve’s Steam Deck in 2024; it’s been the handheld PC that’s had gaming and tech journalists alike wax lyrical about it. Yet here I am, about to tell you why it’s my most-played games device over the past 12 to 18 months.
