About
This dataset offers a detailed look into best-selling games on the Steam platform, captured on 1 June 2025. It presents an extensive, global list of top-selling titles, collected without specific language filters to ensure a broad perspective. The dataset integrates information from three distinct sources – Steam, GameFAQs, and SteamDB – to provide a richer profile for each game. A key feature is the use of a standardised vocabulary of 42 unique genres and tags, ensuring consistency and a clean feature set for analysis, effectively representing each game with a minimal yet effective set of descriptors.
