In a notable shift within the gaming landscape, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has emerged as the highest-grossing title on Steam for the week ending October 29th, dethroning the popular online shooter Counter-Strike 2. This development comes amidst ongoing discussions regarding the potential commercial ramifications of Activision’s flagship franchise being integrated into the Xbox Game Pass. However, the latest sales figures suggest that gamers on Steam remain eager to invest in this latest installment of the iconic series.
Steam’s Top Performers
While specific sales numbers for Black Ops 6 have yet to be disclosed, its performance indicates a robust demand. Following closely behind, Throne and Liberty, a massively multiplayer online game from Amazon and NCSoft, has slipped to the third position. Meanwhile, Factorio has made a triumphant return to the Top Ten, landing in fourth place, largely attributed to the launch of its new Space Age expansion, which itself ranks as the fifth best-selling title of the week.
The success of Factorio and its expansion has had a ripple effect, pushing both Valve’s Steam Deck and PUBG: Battlegrounds down two spots to sixth and seventh, respectively. Additionally, the free-to-play military simulation War Thunder has seen a remarkable ascent, climbing from the 35th position to eighth, thanks to the introduction of new hardware and enticing discounts on returning technology.
In the ninth position, the chaotic card game Liar’s Bar has experienced a slight decline, dropping three spots, while EA Sports FC 25 rounds out the Top Ten, showcasing the diverse range of gaming experiences that continue to captivate players.
