Weekly Top Paid Games on Steam (20th–26th of July 2026)

At the start of each week, we take a look at all of the top paid games on Steam, sorted by revenue. We started this series due to the domination of free-to-play titles with microtransactions in the top-selling category, so here, we remove anything that has microtransactions, as this better reflects new players joining the experience.

It's worth noting that, even though we do not agree with the use if AI-generation in gaming, we're still including games that use the technology here. This is Steam's top paid games of the week, so we're leaving it authentic to that title. We'll still add an extra bullet-point item to inform our readers, though.
