Steam Sales chart: the top three of the week included Steam Deck, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Cyberpunk 2077
We are studying the Steam sales chart for the 38th week of the year.
Top of the highest-grossing products on Steam for the period from September 19 to 25#1 — Steam Deck
There were no surprises with the first place. As in previous weeks, it went to the portable PC Steam Deck.
#2 — Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
The most earning game of last week was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, whose pre-orders took second place in the Steam sales chart. Beta launch helped to achieve this title. On the very first day — September 22, when the beta was available only to those who pre-ordered — the online project exceeded 109 thousand people. On the day of the start of the open beta — September 24 — the number of simultaneous players has already exceeded 150 thousand, and this number continues to grow. At the time of writing the news, the maximum online Modern Warfare II is 168 330 people.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II#3 — Cyberpunk 2077
Although Cyberpunk 2077 dropped from second to third place in the rating during the week, everything is fine with the indicators on Steam. Last Saturday, the title again managed to bypass The Witcher 3 on peak online. On September 24, 122,240 people played Cyberpunk 2077 at the same time, while The Witcher 3 online record for the entire existence of the game was 103,329 people.
Daily Online Cyberpunk 2077#4 — Slime Rancher 2
The fourth place in the Steam sales chart went to the adventure in the world of slime Slime Rancher 2, released in early access on September 22.
According to Nick Popovich, co-founder and CEO of Monomi Park Studio, six hours after the launch, the game sold 100,000 copies, despite the fact that “even in the wildest dreams” the developers did not expect to realize such a volume faster than a day. However, we note that Slime Rancher 2 is available not only on Steam, but also on Xbox.
As for online, the maximum number of simultaneous players in Slime Rancher 2 is 21,524.
Slime Rancher 2#5 — EA SPORTS FIFA 23
The fifth place was taken by pre-orders of the new part of the Electronic Arts football simulator, which is scheduled for release on September 30.
EA SPORTS FIFA 23#6 — Return to Monkey Island
Another novelty in the chart is Return to Monkey Island, a continuation of the famous quest series. In it, by the way, you can meet the character of Neil Druckmann, the president of Naughty Dog.
Return to Monkey Island received 94% positive Steam reviews, and its peak online reached 15,539 people.
Return to Monkey Island#7 — Construction Simulator
Next was the Construction Simulator released on September 20. So far, the largest number of simultaneous players in it is 17,365 with 78% positive reviews on Steam.
Construction Simulator#8 — God of War
God of War dropped two places in the ranking, moving from sixth to eighth place. The discount no longer applies to it, so next week the title will most likely disappear from the Steam sales chart.
God of War#9 — Elden Ring
FromSoftware creation returned to the rating after a week of absence. Recall that since the release at the end of February, Elden Ring has not been in the top ten best-selling projects of the week only seven times.
Elden Ring#10 — NBA 2K23
In last place is the basketball simulator NBA 2K23, which a week earlier was on the fifth line.
