Arc Raiders Claims Steam's Top Holiday Spot by Revenue
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
SteamDB data reported by Eurogamer reveals that Arc Raiders was Steam's highest-grossing game by revenue over the holiday period, beating out Battlefield 6 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
The holiday gaming rush on PC brought some clear winners to the forefront, with SteamDB data highlighting what players spent their hard-earned cash on between December 23rd and 30th. According to the sales metrics reported by Eurogamer, Embark Studios' extraction shooter Arc Raiders pulled in the highest revenue on Steam over the festive period. Battlefield 6 captured the second spot, while the anticipated RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 rounded out the top three in third place.
It is worth noting that these revenue rankings focus strictly on premium titles and exclude free-to-play powerhouses. If heavy hitters like Counter-Strike 2 were factored into the mix alongside microtransactions and battle pass staples, the landscape would look a bit different. Even so, the hardware side of the platform saw massive movement as well, with the Steam Deck securing a massive runner-up placement across all digital products sold on the storefront during that crucial holiday window.
For players tracking what the community is actually picking up for cross-platform sessions and solo grinds, the rest of the top tier offers a fascinating snapshot of current player habits. Titles like Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and Grand Theft Auto V continue to maintain serious commercial legs.
