TL;DR
  • Steam's new top navigation bar includes a Browse menu that replaces the old left-side navigation.
  • Top Sellers charts now show how many weeks games have been in the Top 100, with Counter-Strike leading at 13 years.
  • The rankings are based on total revenue including game sales, DLC, and microtransactions—not player counts.

Valve just rolled out a significant redesign to the Steam Store navigation. The update introduces a sleek top navigation bar featuring a new “Browse” menu that makes finding games much easier.

The most notable change appears on the Top Sellers and Charts pages. Each game now displays how many weeks it has spent in Steam’s Top 100—a metric that reveals some eye-opening statistics about gaming’s biggest earners.

Counter-Strike takes the crown with an astonishing 13-year streak in the Top 100. That’s roughly 676 weeks of continuous revenue generation. Other long-timers include The Elder Scrolls Online at 557 weeks, Rainbow Six Siege at 516 weeks, and both Rust and Final Fantasy XIV at around 460 weeks each.

To access the new charts, users need to click the “Browse” menu at the top of the Steam Store, then select “Top Sellers.” The direct link (store.steampowered.com/charts/topselling/global) also works, though some users temporarily saw the old layout during the rollout.

The Top Sellers list continues to rank games by total revenue rather than player count. This includes full game sales, DLC purchases, and in-game transactions. Pre-orders also count, which explains why upcoming titles like Borderlands 4 already show multiple weeks on the chart.

Steam maintains its “Hide free-to-play” toggle on the charts page. This feature is particularly useful since free-to-play games often dominate revenue rankings through microtransactions alone.

Users also noticed improvements to the Steam mobile app. The annoying bug where pressing back would close the entire app has finally been fixed. Deep linking from external sources now works more reliably, taking users directly to the correct store pages.
