Arc Raiders was Steam's best-selling game over the holiday period, according to SteamDB's revenue-based chart for 23rd–30th December. The data place Arc Raiders at the top, followed by Battlefield 6 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as the next two best-sellers among premium titles. The chart tracks revenue from paid games and does not include free-to-play titles. If one considers all products sold on Steam, not just games, the Steam Deck sits as a runner-up in revenue, but the ranking here reflects revenue for games, so Deck's overall popularity does not contradict the chart's focus.
The full top 10 by revenue for premium games on Steam during the period was Arc Raiders, Steam Deck, Battlefield 6, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Baldur's Gate 3, EA Sports FC 26, Dispatch, Cyberpunk 2077, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced. The list is drawn from SteamDB and represents paid releases; free-to-play titles are not included in this ranking. For context, if free-to-play titles were included, Counter-Strike 2 would rocket to the top, Where Winds Meet would occupy fifth, and Apex Legends would appear in the top ten at ninth.
SteamDB's top 100 list is publicly accessible for readers seeking broader context. Eurogamer also provides related lists, such as Readers' Top 50 games, ranked, offering additional perspectives on what players are buying and playing. For buyers, Arc Raiders' holiday performance signals strong interest in premium titles, while the broader top tier demonstrates sustained demand across a diverse mix of genres, from strategy and RPG to sports and action releases.
