Steam’s Weekly Sales Highlights
In a development that has captured the attention of gamers and industry analysts alike, Game Science’s Black Myth: Wukong has emerged as the top-selling game on Steam for the week ending August 27th. This action RPG, which made its debut on August 20th, has been a topic of conversation for some time, thanks to its impressive pre-order performance that consistently ranked high on the top-grossing charts. Following its launch, the game has garnered positive reviews and has successfully sold over ten million copies across all platforms.
Holding steady in the second and third positions are Counter-Strike 2 and PUBG: Battlegrounds, both maintaining their spots for the third consecutive week. Meanwhile, the ever-popular Dota 2 has climbed four places to secure the fourth position, showcasing its enduring appeal among players.
In an interesting turn of events, Valve’s Steam Deck hardware has slipped one position to fifth place, just ahead of Warframe, which has made a notable comeback to the Top Ten at sixth place after previously sitting at 22nd. This resurgence can be attributed to the rollout of new content for the free-to-play title, reigniting interest among its player base.
Looking ahead, pre-orders for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 have secured the seventh and eighth spots, respectively, as anticipation builds for their upcoming release dates on September 9th and October 25th. In the ninth position, the post-apocalyptic MMO Once Human has experienced a decline from fifth place, while the Chinese-exclusive title 雀魂麻將 (MahjongSoul) from Catfood Studios rounds out the Top Ten.
