List of best-selling PC games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of personal computer games (video games for personal computers, including those running Windows, macOS, and Linux) that have sold or shipped at least one million copies. If a game was released on multiple platforms, the sales figures list are only for PC sales. This list is not comprehensive because sales figures are not always publicly available.

Subscription figures for massively multiplayer online games such as Flight Simulator or Lineage and number of accounts from free-to-play games such as Hearthstone are not taken into account as they do not necessarily correspond to sales.

Notes

  1. Although Minecraft was first publicly available on May 17, 2009,[3] and the 1.0 version on November 18, 2011, the first version of Minecraft which required a paid account was first publicly available on December 23, 2009,[4] therefore it started accumulating sales in that year.
  2. Published by Chucklefish between 2016–2018
  3. This excludes the 1.2 million copies given away as part of Blizzard's World of Warcraft annual pass offer.
  4. Subscribers are not the same as sales; many Asian markets use a different business model that does not involve retail copies. As such subscriber figures do not equate to sales figures.
  5. Final Fantasy VII:
    • 1998 physical Windows release – 1 million[63]
    • 2013 digital Steam release – 1,136,100[44]
  6. Top concurrent player count on Steam. True figure likely higher.
  7. Steam sales only. Itch.io sales and free downloads not included.
  8. The public alpha was released for free on August 8, 2006; but the paid version on Steam and Itch.io was released on December 6, 2022
  9. Sales preceding official Steam release
  10. The game was first officially released on October 17, 2018, on steam (labelled as the "1.0 release"). However, between November 4, 2013, and October 17, 2018, it was publicly sold on Ludeon Studio's website as an open pre-alpha/alpha/beta.
  11. Sold a million copies under the name of H1Z1 while in early access. Not to be confused with the H1Z1 battle royale game by the same company.
