2 January 2025 Steam Hardware Survey The Most Popular Configurations Are These

V has released its January 2025 Steam hardware survey, and the most popular configurations are as follows

Graphics card

The RTX 3060 remains the most popular graphics card with a share of 5 2 , but the share is down 0 82 percentage points from 6 02 in December 2024 last month. The RTX 4060 laptop and RTX 4060 desktop were next, but like the 3060 they both slipped 0 43 and 0 26 percentage points.

Resolution

1080p is still the dominant resolution, accounting for 56.03 percent of the total, while 2K resolution is 20.06, up 0.5 percent, and 4K is even less, with only 4.5 percent of the total.

3 Extreme Racing Horizon 5, followed by Halo on PS5.

Xbox head Phil Spencer has long indicated that Microsoft will be fully invested in third-party game distribution, so the overnight announcement of Extreme Racing Horizon 5 landing PS5 news, which has been rumored, but it is not surprising.

Of course, this confirmation inevitably leads to speculation that it’s only a matter of time before the remaining two games in Xbox’s so-called Big Three, Halo and Gears of War, land on PS5.

Windows Central’s Jez Corden posted on X’s original Twitter account that I’ve heard that Halo Sergeant Major Collection will be coming to PS5 first. He then added that we’ll have to wait and see.

Rumors of Halo coming to PS5 have been swirling for a while now, with reliable industry tipster Nate Drake hinting at it earlier this year. The tipster also managed to predict the release date of the Nintendo Switch 2, which basically confirms the credibility of his information.

While this all fits in with Microsoft’s current strategy, Halo would be a landmark moment if it were to be released on Sony’s console, as the Sergeant Major has long been seen as the Xbox’s mascot.

However, recent financial reports have shown that Microsoft’s gaming division has seen a decline in hardware sales, while Call of Duty Black Ops 6’s addition to the Xbox Game Pass has seen content and services revenues grow by just 2 . Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has repeatedly mentioned that the division wants to increase revenue by pushing more games to more platforms.

There’s no doubt that Extreme Racing Forza Horizon 5 will be a huge success when it hits the PS5. If the rumors are true, we expect Halo Sergeant Major Collection to do similarly well.

All in all, Microsoft seems to be relying more and more on the PlayStation’s player base to increase its revenue.

4 January’s new Steam revenue charts are out, and True Triad Origins is way ahead of the pack!

Recently, data analytics company Game Discover Co aggregated all the new releases that were released in January 2025 to create a January new release sales chart. Among them, Shin Megami Tensei Origins topped the charts with a whopping $21.4 million in revenue, which is about 155 million RMB! Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which was released on PC on January 23rd, came in second place, earning $13.5 million, or roughly 9,789.39 million RMB.

It’s worth mentioning that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which just launched on PC on January 31st, came in third, earning $8.2 million, or about $59.46 million. Despite its poor reputation, the game still earned more than $8 million in 48 hours, with about 150,000 copies sold.
