Steam Top May Releases Include Resident Evil Village and Chair Simulator
May on Steam was marked by big premieres such as Resident Evil Village, Days Gone or Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. Old exclusives from Epic Games Store also did well. On the other hand, the biggest free-to-play debuts include Chair Simulator.
Valve Subnautica: Below Zero.
Days Gone were also warmly received.
Also included are SnowRunner, which were previously exclusive to Epic Games Store. This shows that there is no shortage of players willing to wait for their desired games to be available on Steam.
Valve does not provide detailed sales fogures, and the order on the lists is always random. Therefore, in the following list we use data from the paid version of SteamSpy. Its estimates are not always accurate, but it's better than nothing.

The biggest F2P releases of May
Valve also published an additional list, focused on the most popular free-to-play launches of May. In this case, the criterion was the activity record. We've sorted the following list according to the overall activity record of a given game, not just the one achieved in May, as this gives a better idea of the level of success a given production has achieved on Steam.
May was a month clearly slower than usual in of free-to-play premieres, so the top five included humorous productions like Slappyball and Chair Simulator, with activity records of several hundred people playing simultaneously.
