Popular Games Right Now

At the top of the charts right now are Phantom Blade Zero, Football Manager 27, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. The order follows Steam's global top sellers and changes every day, so a big new release can jump straight to the top in its launch week.

We start with Steam's global top sellers list, which is updated every day, and add the games deal hunters are looking at most across the web. Only games you can actually buy are listed: every game here has at least one deal, and free-to-play games have their own Free-to-Play Games list.

Big releases often sell well before launch, so pre-orders can climb high in the charts. On the game page you can compare pre-order prices and check the release date before you buy - and if you would rather wait for reviews, add the game to your wishlist and come back on launch day.

Popular means many people are buying it, not that everyone will love it. Before you buy, check the critic score and the system requirements on the game page. Want games that critics loved instead? See our Critically Acclaimed Games list, or browse the Best Games of 2026 list for the top rated new releases.

Popular games are sold almost everywhere - official stores, publisher stores and key shops - and every store sets its own prices and runs its own sales. Keys can also be sold for different regions or platforms, which changes the price too. Every game page lists all current offers side by side, with the store, platform and region, so you can see which deal fits you. Big hits rarely stay at full price for long - check our Historical Low Game Deals list for games at their lowest price ever, and Hot New Game Deals for recent releases that are already discounted.
