In the weekly rankings, Counter-Strike 2 maintained its position as the top-grossing game, while Schedule 1 slipped to third place, overshadowed by the debut of RuneScape: Dragonwilds. The Steam Deck held steady at fourth, showcasing its continued popularity among gamers.
In an exciting turn of events, Last Epoch, an action RPG, made a triumphant return to the Top Ten, climbing an impressive 76 positions to secure fifth place.
