SteamSpy has shared its preliminary results for the best selling games on Steam in 2015. According to them, Grand Theft Auto V is the best selling game that was released this year on Steam, followed by Fallout 4 and ARK: Survival Evolved.
As we can see, there are also some surprises in this chart. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, one of the most optimized PC games and a game that a lot described as GOTY, was not able to hit 1 million sold copies and is barely above Call of Duty: Black Ops III. The same applies to Mad Max; a game that impressed everyone with its spectacular performance. Mad Max sold less than Batman: Arkham Knight.
The games that were able to hit the one million sales mark are: Grand Theft Auto V, Fallout 4, ARK: Survival Evolved, H1Z1, Rocket League, Cities: Skylines, Prison Architect, Besiege, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Dying Light.
Do note that this graph only includes activations/purchases from April 1st to December 20th.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
