In the platinum class, sports-game titles similar to Apex Legends, Counter-Strike 2, PUBG Battlegrounds, and Future 2 proceed to dominate. The list also counts some of the most highly rated premium games, including Black Myth: Wukong, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Elden Ring. Its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion was also honored, and Black Myth: Wukong has a bevy of awards this year as well. Though released last year, Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to be an immense success, with Larian Studios repeatedly updating the game with fresh content.
In New Entries, Path of Exile II, Helldivers 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and Black Myth: Wukong all hit platinum. Games qualify for the platinum genre based on their sales in the first two weeks after release. This will decide whether they are best-sellers and deserving of platinum status. Regarding peak concurrent players, most of the games that cross 450,000 are live-service titles, such as Apex Legends, Counter-Strike 2, and Marvel Rivals.
This list also contains premium games such as Helldivers 2, Black Myth: Wukong, and Elden Ring.
