In the list of the games released in 2025 with the most revenue there is no free-to-play. They are all premium releases like Arc Raiders, Monster Hunter Wilds, Civilization VII or Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. To find the first game free-to-play We have to go down to the silver category (25th – 50th) where we have Where Winds Meet. On the other hand, the absence of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 or Assassin's Creed Shadows, which are in the gold category (13th – 24th), is surprising. Both share space with Doom: The Dark Ages, Stellar Blade and a surprising Dispatch, which went on sale in October without making too much noise.
The games released in 2025 on Steam with the most revenue are:
- Monster Hunter Wilds
- Sid Meier’s Civilization VII
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
- Battlefield 6
- Arc Raiders
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
