Steam has released its massive list of the most popular PC VR games in 2025. And it looks like it’s going to be another year of “old favorites,” as only one game released this year made it into the top 50.
Valve has released its annual list of the best games, which once again provides insight into what PC VR users are playing on Steam.
As in previous years, the list is divided into Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze ratings, with games within these ratings sorted randomly. Notably, Valve states that the ratings are calculated based on “unique players per calendar year.”
