May’s Top Steam Games by Copies Sold

The May 2025 analysis of Steam’s top-selling games highlights a market driven by a combination of new releases, strategic price discounting, and major content updates.

• R.E.P.O. was the top-selling Steam game in May 2025 with 1.7 million copies, bringing its total sales to 14.4 million copies and $113.6 million in revenue. Its top market is the US, and it has almost 3 million wishlists, with potential for further growth if Chinese localization is added.
• Elden Ring Nightreign, a new release, sold 1.2 million copies on Steam in May despite being available for only one day, generating $48.5 million in revenue. 80% of its Steam players also played the original Elden Ring.
• Helldivers 2 saw a significant resurgence in May 2025, selling 537K copies and achieving its highest monthly active users (MAUs) since May 2024 (3.7 million) and daily active users (DAUs) exceeding 1 million for the first time in over a year. This was driven by the 'Heart of Democracy' free expansion and a price drop to $32.
