Microsoft’s latest games are all top sellers on Steam

Microsoft success on Steam cannot be understated, selling four of the top 15 selling games on the platform today. That’s more than any other publisher, and a clear sign that Microsoft was right to bring its games to PC and Valve’s Steam platform. 

Today, Grounded, Obsidian’s early access survival game is Steam’s best selling game, followed by Microsoft Flight Simulator as Steam’s second best selling game. After that comes Halo: The Master Chief Collection (Halo 3) and at 14th comes Sea of Thieves, both of which released on Steam weeks ago. 

Releasing games on both Xbox and PC has enabled Microsoft to take advantage of both audiences to achieve high sales numbers. All future Microsoft Games Studios titles are planned for both Xbox and PC platforms, something which will help ensure the success of Microsoft’s gaming division moving forward.  

Within the next few months, PC gamers will be receiving Microsoft Flight Simulator, Halo 3: ODST, Halo 4 and Battletoads. Each of these titles should deliver strong sales for Microsoft, and gain the company more subscribers to its Xbox Game Pass Service.
