Steam Spy’s charts show that one of the best-selling Steam games this summer was Limbo, selling more than 1.1 million copies over the course of the Summer Sale. What’s more, Limbo wasn’t among the hundreds of titles discounted during the sale, though Limbo’s success is likely due to the game’s follow-up, Inside, which released in late June. In addition, a top 10 list was published that reveals the games with the most copies sold during the sale:
- 1. Limbo - 1,128,836
- 2. Payday 2 - 526, 380
- 3. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - 485,694
- 4. Age of Empires II: HD Edition - 373,651
- 5. Garry’s Mod - 349,877
- 6. Dead by Daylight - 286,966
- 7. Left 4 Dead 2 - 282,580
