CHARTS: Metaphor: ReFantazio debuts at No.3 on Steam
pcgamesinsider.bizAtlus' recently launched Metaphor: ReFantazio was the third-highest-grossing title on Steam last week.
The medieval role-playing game launched on October 11th and has already shifted over one million copies across all platforms to date. Metaphor: ReFantazio owes a lot to Atlus' Persona franchise – in particular the fifth entry – as well as the medieval fantasy setting of titles like Fire Emblem, making for a rather popular mix.
Counter-Strike 2 was once again the biggest revenue driver on Steam last week, while Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero debuts at second place – the same spot that pre-orders for the eagerly-awaited anime fighting title took last week.
Battle royale giant PUBG: Battlegrounds returned to the Top Ten in fifth seemingly thanks to a store update and special drops for the game, while Amazon and NCSoft's new MMO Throne and Liberty came in fifth place, down two spots from third. The title brought in over three million players in its first week on sale.
Both EA Sports FC 25 and Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 remake both dropped one spot to No.6 and No.7 respectively, while Valve's Steam Deck hardware fell to eighth from seventh.
Dota 2 fell five spots to No.9 while Diablo 4 rounded off the Top Ten in the wake of its Vessel of Hatred expansion rolling out.
Here is the Steam Top Ten for the week ending October 15th:
1. Counter-Strike 2, Valve
2. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, Bandai Namco
