The gaming landscape witnessed a significant shift last week as The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered emerged as the top performer on Steam, captivating audiences and generating impressive sales figures. Launched unexpectedly on April 22nd, this remastered classic received a warm reception from both critics and players alike, propelling it to the forefront of the gaming market.
Sales Performance and Competition
In a surprising turn of events, Counter-Strike 2, a staple in the gaming community, found itself relegated to the second position. The competition was fierce, with another new entrant, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, making a notable debut as the third highest seller. This role-playing game (RPG) has quickly captured the attention of gamers, showcasing the vibrant diversity within the genre.
Meanwhile, Valve’s Steam Deck hardware maintained its stronghold in the fourth spot, demonstrating the continued popularity of handheld gaming solutions. Following closely was Schedule 1, an Early Access crime adventure, which slipped two positions to fifth place.
Resurgence of Popular Titles
In an intriguing development, 雀魂麻將 (MahjongSoul) made a triumphant return to the Steam Top 100, attributed to a limited-time crossover event with the visual novel Fate Stay Night. This strategic collaboration helped the title secure the sixth position. On the other hand, the Early Access horror game REPO experienced a slight decline, falling to seventh place.
In a notable rise, PUBG: Battlegrounds climbed two spots to claim the eighth position, while Once Human made a remarkable comeback, soaring 62 places to land in ninth. Rounding out the Top Ten is Marvel Rivals from NetEase, which experienced a slight drop, falling three positions to tenth.
