This was a very interesting BUZZ that I found today and wanted to share with you.

As we head into the New Year, Valve has released a look back at 2018’s best selling VR titles on Steam.
Alongside the ongoing Steam Winter Sale (concluding January 3rd @ 10 AM PT), Valve has published a series of ‘The Best of 2018‘ charts, showing which titles on Steam have fared the best across several metrics.
Among the charts is a list of the top 100 best selling VR games on Steam in 2018, as measured by gross revenue.
The chart is broken into tiers ranging from Bronze to Platinum. Refreshing the page shuffles the titles in each tier,
meaning we can’t tell directly how individual games in each tier stack up in terms of revenue, we only know that games in a higher tier had higher revenue than games in a lower tier.
Here’s a look at the Gold and Platinum tiers; since Valve is sorting each tier in a random order,
we charted each title’s overall user reviews and sorted by that figure to bring a bit of order to the groups.
Games in the platinum tier are mostly expected; though it’s interesting to see that 50% of this year’s platinum titles are in Early Access, slightly up from 42% last year. Interestingly,
none of the platinum games are Early Access graduates (compared to 25% in the gold tier).
While the titles in platinum are mostly expected, the one that surprised us is VR Kanojo (2018), a relatively pricey ($50) adult VR game which was released in 2017 but hit Steam this year.
Despite relatively low reviews, Fallout 4 VR (2017) continues to sell well thanks to its highly recognized IP. It’s Bethesda brethren, Skyrim VR, also joins the platinum list having launched on PC earlier this year.
Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades take platinum its second year running, and stands out for not only being launched initially back in 2016, but also for its exceptional user reviews.
In the platinum tier, 33% of titles were released in 2016, 42% in 2017, and 25% in 2018.
It might seem surprising that only 25% of the titles were released in 2018, though the bulk of the non-VR platinum list is shared between 2018 (25%) and 2015 (25%).
