Three days into 2026 (at the time of writing), many of you have likely returned from your travels or hometown visits, gearing up to start work this Monday. However, for those who stayed in and are looking for a gaming marathon before the work week begins—or if you're just bored with your current library—we’ve compiled a list of the best-selling and most-played games on Steam so far in 2026. These titles wouldn't be topping the charts this early in the year if they weren't exceptional. If you're looking for something new to dive into, check out these top contenders
Let's start with the top-selling games on Steam. Coming in at No. 1 is PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, which jumped up 11 spots from the end of last year. Many might wonder how a free-to-play game secures the top 'selling' spot; based on our research, this is likely due to players paying to unlock premium features and special New Year event items. No. 2 is Red Dead Redemption 2, a high-quality title with strong momentum that surged 15 spots to take second place early this year. No. 3 is ARC Raiders, which climbed 5 spots; this survival game pits you against both robots and other players, and those who've tried it say it's incredibly addictive. No. 4 is Baldur's Gate 3, a critically acclaimed RPG that moved up 7 spots and has maintained strong sales since its release. Finally, No. 5 is Where Winds Meet, which actually dropped 4 spots while the other titles on this list were climbing
Next, let’s look at the most-played games on Steam. Taking the No. 1 spot is Counter-Strike 2, boasting a massive player count of 1,065,907 (at the time of writing). No. 2 is Dota 2, a permanent fixture on many people's PCs, with 536,240 players. No. 3 is PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, seeing 384,833 concurrent players. No. 4 is ARC Raiders, a hot new title that's a must-try, currently sitting at 175,335 players. Finally, No. 5 is Rust, which has seen a surge in popularity since its update in early December, reaching 156,895 players
This is the preliminary information we’ve gathered for anyone looking for a new game to play. If you're worried about long matchmaking times or a lack of players, these titles are a safe bet. Many of them are free-to-play, and some are currently on sale. Simply put, if these games weren't truly great, they wouldn't be topping the charts with such high player counts and sales. Considering there are hundreds of thousands of titles on Steam, breaking into the top 5 is no small feat. Give them a try—who knows, one of these might just become your new favorite game
