7. Fallout: New Vegas
Most Popular RPGs on PC, According to the Steam Leak
Obsidian Entertainment has weird relationship with RPGs. While it has spearheaded several standout games in recent years, including South Park: The Stick of Truth and Pillars of Eternity, it used to predominantly create fantastic sequels to preexisting games. The studio made Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II, Neverwinter Nights 2, and Fallout: New Vegas, which is arguably superior to Fallout 3. Sure, Fallout 3 laid all the groundwork, but New Vegas improved and balanced basically everything, from the VATS system to player freedom. And then there’s survival mode. Who wouldn’t want to turn an RPG about surviving the harsh, irradiated Nevada desert filled with giant tarantula hawks and coyotes with rattlesnakes for heads into a game about doing all that while staying well-fed, rested, and hydrated?
Even though Fallout: New Vegas is an older title, it still has a very respectable 5,222,533 players on Steam. That’s over half its global sales and still more than Fallout 3 sold on Steam.
