Halo Infinite, Age of Empires 4 and Forza Horizon 5 among the most successful games on Valve’s platform.
Xbox was very successful in 2021, launching some of the biggest games of the year. The company has offered gamers a variety of options to access these games, offering them on Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, and on PC.
This has paid off big for the company, since the headlines Xbox Game Studios accounted for 25% of the top 12 best-selling games on Steam this year. The site released a list of the top 12 games of 2021 in terms of gross revenue and the list included Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5 And Age of Empires IV.
The full list of games can be found in a Tweet from BenjiSales:
Microsoft / Xbox Game Studios have become one of the biggest publishers on PC / Steam with 3 of the Top 10 highest Gross Revenue games of the year in 2021 being 1st party releases
Congrats to @aarongreenberg @ XboxP3 @BondSarah_Bond and everyone else at Xbox

Cross-platform availability is an important part of Xbox’s strategy right now and it seems to be paying off. Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 have both gotten a lot of positive attention in the past few months, and the fact that these games can be accessed from so many different platforms no doubt helped. In 2021, we saw PlayStation focus more on the PC market, but most of the games the company offered had been available for several years on the PlayStation 4. In the case of Xbox, these games are launched on the same day across all platforms.
Some of the fans who responded to BenjiSales pointed out that it’s interesting to see these games perform so well on Steam, when all three are accessible via Xbox Game Pass for PC. Some Game Pass skeptics worried that the service might hurt a game’s actual sales, but Steam’s listing would seem to indicate that this is not the case.
