The successful sales figure also translates well to Steam’s list of top games by player count. In it, Civilization VI presently holds the third position, behind Valve’s own Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Interestingly, the previous game in the series, Civilization V, is not very far behind, coming in at number 10.
