How the charts are compiled

These Top Monthly Releases charts look at the first two weeks of revenue for each of the games released during the month. The top games are then split up into tiers, starting with the top 12 games as gold tier, the next 12 games as silver tier, and the remaining games as bronze tier.

Monthly charts: Now Automated (they'll really be every month now!)

Originally started in April 2019, monthly charts are another way for players to discover a variety of new games finding popularity on Steam. Unfortunately, we've been re-building them each month by hand, leading to a less-than-consistent publishing cadence as we waited to complete all of the necessary work each time.

Until now!

Automating the process means we can now release these charts exactly 14 days after the end of each month, meaning we can surface the most popular releases of the month sooner. It also freed up our ability to get in our time machine and go alllll the way back to 2004, running calculations for all games ever released on Steam; which means you can now do some monthly browsing from the olden days too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why do some months have fewer than 12 items in the gold or silver tiers?

A. Some products may not be available in your region, and thus we cannot show them in the charts

Q. Are Early Access games included?

A. Yes, games making use of Steam Early Access may appear on the chart for the month they launch into Early Access as well as the month they transition to a full 1.0 release.

Q. Are DLC included in these charts?

A. Yes, DLC can qualify on it's own if the sales of a particular item of DLC is significant enough to reach the top 50 list. Plus, there is a dedicated "DLC For You" section that will display the top 50 DLC released in the month, filtered down to just those for games in your library.
