📝 Deep Dive

PlayStation’s Top-Selling Games on Steam

As reported by Alinea Analytics, PlayStation Studios has seen strong performance on Steam, generating over $1.5B in gross revenue and selling around 43M copies across its titles.

Highlights include:

🎮 Helldivers 2 – 12.7M copies sold, $400M revenue, strong daily engagement.

🌅 Horizon Zero Dawn – 4.5M copies, $170M revenue; early PC release drove high initial demand.

⚔️ God of War – 4.2M copies, $150M revenue; franchise relevance and steady sales over time.

🌄 Days Gone – 3.4M copies, $108M revenue; exceeded expectations on PC.

🕷️ Spider-Man Remastered – 2.7M copies, $116M revenue; brand recognition and technical enhancements boosted appeal.

The novelty of PlayStation games on Steam is gradually wearing off, with sequels generally selling fewer copies than their predecessors. However, titles that align with PC player preferences (co-op gameplay, replayability, or strong IP) can still achieve notable success.

Sony is adjusting its release strategy to reduce the gap between PS5 and Steam launches, balancing console demand with PC audience interest, while the upcoming Steam Machine could influence future strategy.
