The gaming landscape on Steam has seen some intriguing shifts recently, particularly with the launch of Dune: Awakening, which has quickly ascended to become the second highest-grossing title of the week. This sci-fi survival game, developed by Funcom, officially debuted on June 10th, but early access for those who opted for the deluxe or ultimate editions began on June 5th, likely contributing to its impressive sales figures prior to the official release.
Steam’s Competitive Rankings
In a familiar turn of events, Counter-Strike 2 maintained its position as the highest-grossing title on Steam, showcasing its enduring popularity among gamers. Meanwhile, the much-anticipated Deltarune made its entrance into the rankings at third place, following its release on June 4th.
The Elden Ring: Nightreign expansion experienced a slight decline, dropping three spots to fourth place week-on-week. In a similar vein, the Steam Deck fell from third to fifth position, as certain stock-keeping units (SKUs) have sold out, reflecting the ongoing demand for this portable gaming device.
Pre-orders for Stellar Blade have landed it in sixth place, although it slipped two positions compared to the previous week, just ahead of its release on June 11th. In an interesting development, Lies of P has made a comeback to the Top 100, securing seventh place after a significant 50% price reduction to celebrate the launch of its Overture DLC, which debuted at eighth.
Newly released Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma from Marvelous has made its mark at ninth place, following its launch on June 5th. Finally, Dead by Daylight has surged up the rankings, climbing 12 places to complete the Top Ten.
