With 2022 just coming to an end, Steam, the must-have platform for PC gaming, today shares various pieces of information including the “Best Games of the Year by Gross Revenue”. So we find that a large number of titles, despite their presence, are included in PC Game Pass, but again many Xbox-stamped productions appear there.
27 games from the PC Game Pass are invited to the ranking
Unfortunately, this ranking does not allow you to see the sales figures or even the exact positioning in the top 99. In fact, they are divided into 4 categories: Platinum (12 games), Gold (12 games), Silver (25 games) and Bronze (50 games).
On the Xbox side we see the presence of Forza Horizon 4, Forza Horizon 5, Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Halo Infinite, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Age of Empires IV, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76. With hindsight, we can easily say that the brand did well in tackling the PC market via the Steam box.
