CHARTS: Baldur's Gate 3 dethrones CSGO to take Steam No.1
pcgamesinsider.bizNewly-released RPG Baldur's Gate 3 was the biggest selling title by revenue last week on Steam.
The title, developed by Larian Studios, outperformed long-running best-seller Counter-Stike: Global Offensive, which falls to second place. Baldur's Gate 3 is off to a great start, having shifted 2.5 million during its Early Access phase. The game has hit a peak of 814,666 concurrent players already, according to SteamDB.
The newly-combined Call of Duty, which puts Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone in once place, was the third best-seller of the week. Remnant 2 drops two places to No.4, while Apex Legends falls from fourth to fifth.
Valve's Steam Deck hardware drops one place to No.6, while the fifth season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's content makes its debut in the Steam Top Ten. NetEase's free-to-play battle royale Naraka: Bladepoint rose one place to No.8, coming in ahead of American Truck Simulator. That title, from SCS Software, returns to the Top Ten thanks to a 75 per cent price cut following the release of the new W900 Tuning Pack.
Meanwhile, pre-orders for the upcoming ambitious sci-fi RPG Starfield, round off the Top Ten.
