In a remarkable display of market prowess, the Elden Ring spin-off, Nightreign, has claimed the top spot as the highest-grossing game on Steam for the week ending June 3rd. Released on May 30th, the title has already surpassed an impressive 3.5 million copies sold. Its multiplayer format likely contributed to its success, as friends band together to experience the game simultaneously.
Steam’s Latest Rankings
Notably, pre-orders for Nightreign also secured the sixth position on the Steam charts, indicating a robust wave of anticipation leading up to its launch. This excitement can be attributed in part to the monumental success of its predecessor, Elden Ring, which has set high expectations for its spin-off.
Following Nightreign, Counter-Strike 2 from Valve settled into second place, while the Steam Deck hardware climbed to third, reflecting a steady demand for gaming devices. Pre-orders for the upcoming hack-and-slash title, Stellar Blade, positioned it at No. 4 ahead of its June 11th release. Having debuted on PlayStation 5 in April 2024, Stellar Blade has already sold over one million copies within its first month, showcasing its strong market appeal.
Newly released racing game F1 25 made a notable entrance at No. 5, likely benefiting from the recent surge in popularity surrounding Formula One. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 experienced a slight dip, falling to sixth place, just ahead of Marvel Rivals, which re-entered the Top Ten at seventh, possibly due to the introduction of a new game mode.
In eighth place, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time dropped six spots but has still managed to sell over 500,000 copies since its release. The Last of Us Part 1 made a comeback in ninth place, likely spurred by a significant 50% discount and the ongoing buzz surrounding the TV adaptation’s second season. Finally, rounding out the Top Ten is the beloved RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which returned to the charts last week.
