However, Portal 2's reign on Steam is not eternal, as People Playground is closing in on Valve's first-person puzzler. Unfamiliar with it? People Playground is a sandbox game where players can freely annihilate ragdolls using a range of lethal tools. Since its release in 2019, People Playground has garnered nearly 200,000 rave reviews on Steam, securing an astonishing 97.51% rating on the platform.

Left 4 Dead 2 currently holds a rating of 96.72% on Steam. People Playground has the potential to surpass Portal 2 as the highest-rated game on Steam, but there are a few other titles that could also contend for the top spot. Currently, six other games have achieved a rating of 97% or above, including Vampire Survivors, Stardew Valley, Hades, the original Portal, and Terraria. While it remains uncertain if any of these games will dethrone Portal 2, the evolution of the top 10 rankings will certainly be fascinating to observe.
Rimworld, the VR game Half-Life: Alyx, and Left 4 Dead 2 complete the top 10 list of the highest-rated Steam games. With several recent releases featured, it is entirely plausible for a new game to debut and secure the top position. Considering the potential release of Half-Life 3 by Valve, if it manages to meet expectations, one would expect it to have a strong chance of claiming the top spot.
