Lumen works great on even slightly older graphics cards, and if I disable virtual shadow maps I can get real-time global illumination with photorealistic megascans at 60fps 1080p on my slightly older GTX 1060. Using Nanite, developers do not have to worry about LOD, and even low-poly stylized assets seem to get a very large performance increase.

Unreal Engine 4 does not have as much, but UE5 Early Access currently has some very useful features that can only get better upon the full release. I also thought it was interesting that one of the games on the list was made in a custom 3D engine written in Pascal. The most notable addition is Godot finally making an appearance in the list with the game "Cruelty Squad". Unity remains the most heavily used engine, but it's clear that developers are making lots of very different and very popular games with a wide variety of tools. Overall, the engines haven't changed substantially. Incidentally, if you are ever trying to figure out what engine a game was made in and Google doesn't provide an immediate answer, has file data for most games in the "depot" section which can provide clues. I tried to remove games that appeared in previous lists as Early Access titles.

Whether it is actually more popular is somewhat of a subjective opinion- perhaps "beloved" might be a better descriptor. For example a game with 99% positive out of 1000 reviews might rank higher than a game with 95% positive out of 15,000 reviews.


The Steam 250 algorithm is a combination of percent positive reviews and number of reviews. For the past two years ( 2019 | 2020 ), I've posted lists of the engines used in the most popular games on Steam.īelow is the list for this year, as based on the Steam 250 ranking.
