2024 was a big year for Steam. The platform-and-launcher consistently set new player records throughout the year, eventually establishing the new top concurrent record of 39.3 million. Valve also raked in billions of dollars through game sales and monetization, collecting their share of live service and AAA singleplayer spending.

The top-earning Steam games of 2024 saw some new entrants break into the list, including Helldivers II, Palworld, and the chart-topping Black Myth: Wukong. All of these newer challengers have sold over 10 million copies each. Other interesting trends see Baldur's Gate 3 retain a spot on the chart, alongside usual suspects like Counter-Strike, Apex, PUBG, DOTA, and Call of Duty. It's also good to see Destiny 2 on the list given Bungie's and Sony's current financial issues.

Below we've included the list of Steam's top-earners of 2024 by gross revenue, and do note that the games are listed in randomized order. Placement on the below list does not indicate how much money that each game made through 2024.

• Apex Legends
• Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
• Black Myth: Wukong
• HELLDIVERS 2
• ELDEN RING
• PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS
• Destiny 2
• Dota 2
• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
• Palworld
• Baldur's Gate 3
• Counter-Strike 2

2025 is expected to be a monumental year for gaming with a number of high-profile releases set to launch throughout the year, but some of them, including the mega-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, will not launch simultaneously on Steam.
