A plethora of game titles find their way to the Steam store each year, but it’s barely a handful of these that are able to attract the community and amass a following.
Just like every year, Valve, the company behind the popular Steam store, has compiled today the best-selling game titles for the first half of 2018. This list has some of the most well-known games, such as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Grand Theft Auto V (an all-time favorite), and Fallout 4. A very recent release, Jurassic Park: Evolution, has also made a surprise appearance on the list.
