Co-OP games are doing very well SteamWith co-op titles that make some massive revenue and dominate the sales diagrams in 2025. A new analysis seems to show that Steam Gamers are keen on experiences they can share with friends.
Steam is a popular gaming platform in general, but it has some benefits that make it popular for games with friends as well. There is no fee to play online, and Steam contains features like remote games together, which lets several players play with just one copy of a game. The platform's large selection of indie games also seems to have contributed to this new co-op statistics.

30 Best Co-OP Games on Steam
From online multiplayer titles to local masterpieces, Steam has lots of fantastic co-op games that cover a wide range of genres.
It is estimated that Steam has generated $ 4.1 billion in revenue only from co-op games during the first half of 2025. The statistics, divided by Alinea Analytics, indicates that this has increased by 11% from the same period the year before. Co-OP games also brought up the 5 best sellers on Steam. When you look at sold copies, Repo led the package with a huge 16.4 million copies, followed by Schedule 1 with 9 m, Top with 7 m, Monster Hunter Wilds by 6.3 m and finally The fire call Nightreign with 2.8 million.

Monster Hunter Wilds led the packaging with $ 380.8 million, Schedule 1 with $ 137 m, followed by Repo with $ 128.2 m, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 with $ 109.1 m, and Fiction with $ 104.5 million.
Steam Co-OP Games see a significant climb
A look at the platform over the years shows how far co-op games have come in recent times. During the first half of 2018, for example, co-op games only accounted for $ 1.25 billion in Steam's revenue. The platform saw little growth in this regard until the first half of 2020, which saw just over $ 1.5 billion. But during the second half of 2020, the number had increased over $ 2 billion, and the first half of 2021 had risen to $ 2.5 billion. The data indicates that the Major Co-OP releases driven these figures, with a remarkable upturn over the years as a game as FasmophobiaThe ValheimThe It takes twoThe Deadly companyThe Baldur's Gate 3The Helldivers 2and Repo released.
Interestingly, most co-op emissions that are responsible for these big numbers have not been AAA games. A significant number of them have been indie release, while others have been AA titles. These games often have lower prices than AAA games, which lower the entrance bar to try something new with friends, who can play a role in the statistics, especially with the players' obvious tendency for hoarding games on Steam. While trends can change at any time, it seems that co-op games will continue to grow on the platform for the foreseeable future.
