Steam's Most Played Games of 2016

GitHyp: "2016 was another great year for games, but it was also a year filled with the the rise and fall of many new games that over-promised and under-delivered."

Ad to this list The Witcher 3.

This is why i don't game on PC.

For all the hardware it has, look at the ancient games people play.

PC = Lots of games sure. But almost zero blockbuster exciting releases ever come out.

Better to go on the Android app store it seems lmfao

What??!! Troll!!

[Lon3wolf]

Oh you can do better than that, surely?

[Razzer]

Huh? PC gets nearly all the multiplat games. But this isn't a list of big releases. Just the game people play. And yeah, a lot of them are older. That is because these are communities that have not been broken up by new console releases. But that doesn't mean PC gamers can't enjoy blockbusters like Doom or Forza Horizon 3 (two of my favorite PC games this year).

So Gears 4, Recore, Quantum Break in 2016 and Scalebound (hopefully in 17) don't count? :D

Couldn't resist

Tell me. How many people are still playing those amazing single player games and blockbuster titles from last year?
Numbers probably dropped considerably.

On pc gaming communities last longer. This doesn't mean people don't play other games. They do. Many. But once their done they go back to the big communities these games are able to maintain on pc.

ye but then again look at consoles where those "Blockbuster" games get played for a week or 1 playthrough and are never touched again, then everyone goes to the multiplat games... It's incredible how long some PC games have lasted with very healthy playerbases, even SP only games like skyrim have big numbers still, all because of mods.

But most of the ancient games,hundreds are better than any game you can buy on console,and that isn't even subjective.I bet your whole library isn't bigger than my strategy games library alone,which consists of 88 games,out of my 802 total.Next time,take time to think and thank games like ultima,bards tale,age of mythology,starcraft,diablo,deu s ex etc,for having games at the first place to play.What you wrote is one of the reasons pc games have nearly no respect to console gamers.

[zb1ftw777]

Fuck no.

Console blockbuster games own PC games hard.

@zb1 your issue is thinking there are no PC only games that are good. The total war series is just as good as anything consoles push out, The vast number of great strategy titles on PC. Arma series is capable of being modded to a point you have multiple different games from one, the variety in shooters on PC compared to consoles is incredible from arcade to mil sim. Then there is the plethora of multi-platform games that are better on pc and the amount of games available to you on PC makes console libraries look like a joke.

I've been a console gamer all my life but at heart I'm a PC gamer and your post is nothing but false claims. PC has a way better selection of games than console. You're meaning of blockbuster probably means Uncharted. You need to go back to the drawing board on that one.

[Damrock]

100% agree with what you said. Pc will never have any blockbuster cinema 24fps experiences.

Rocket League?
