The SteamDB portal has changed the parameters accepted in the ranking of the most profitable products on Steam. This allows you to see the strength of the microtransaction system on the platform.That’s why shareware games overtake Hogwarts Legacy and Steam Deck in the new ranking. Thanks to changes to SteamDB, microtransaction earnings will now also count towards the bestseller rankings. This change significantly affected the positions of individual Steam blockbusters. Sons of the Forest generated the most revenue last week, but free-to-play games like Counter-Strike: GO, Destiny 2, and Apex Legends weren’t far behind.It’s worth noting that Returnal hasn’t been as popular on PC as one might expect. The game started at number seven on the Steam bestseller chart and then dropped to number 89. New Like a Dragon: Ishin! only started at position #47.Top Selling Products on Steam:Sons of the Forest (new)Counter-Strike: GO (microtransactions)Destiny 2 (microtransactions)Apex Legends (microtransactions)Hogwarts LegacyPUBG: Battlegrounds (microtransactions)Steam Deck (console)Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2/Warzone 2.0Stardew Valley ( -50%)Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (pre-order)
