Top 10 New Releases on Steam: February 2025

February 2025 represented a high-performing period for the Steam platform, characterized by the launch of several major franchise titles that generated significant gross revenue. The market was dominated by high-profile releases that leveraged established intellectual property to drive immediate commercial success, despite varying levels of critical and player reception.

Monster Hunter Wilds emerged as the top performer, securing $93.2 million in gross revenue on Steam despite a late-month release. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II followed with $67.5 million in Steam revenue, bolstered by a strong multi-platform performance that saw total sales approach 2.5 million units. Sid Meier’s Civilization VII also saw substantial financial returns, generating $43.5 million despite mixed player feedback. Other notable entries included Avowed, which recorded $7.2 million in Steam revenue alongside its inclusion in the Xbox Game Pass service, and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, which contributed $5.6 million following its February 20th debut.

The data highlights a broader trend of long-standing franchises maintaining significant market influence, with the Monster Hunter series surpassing 100 million lifetime copies sold and the Civilization franchise exceeding 70 million units with over 1 billion hours of total playtime. These figures reflect a robust PC gaming market during the month, driven by high-budget, anticipated releases that continue to command significant consumer spending across the Steam ecosystem.
