Alright, so here’s what’s going on. RimWorld—the game we never knew we needed—is making a comeback in the Steam Top Ten. How? Well, thanks to this new Odyssey DLC. I mean, who knew a game could boomerang back up like that? It leapfrogged 58 places to hit No.3. The DLC release was on July 11th, and it wasn’t just the content that did it—there was a 20% discount too. Clever, right?
Meanwhile, Counter-Strike 2 decided it was king of the hill again, snagging the top spot. And then PUBG, which, out of nowhere, got chummy with K-pop group Aespa, and bam! It’s sitting pretty at No.2. Who would’ve thought gaming and K-pop would make such a dynamic duo?
Oh, and the Steam Deck is feeling the push. It slid to fourth place. I mean, it’s still cool, but not the coolest right now. Marvel Rivals from NetEase? It’s climbing. Like, 25 places to be exact. This might have something to do with new content dropping on July 11th.
Now let’s talk Peak. It fell four spots to No.7, but hey, 4.5 million units sold! That’s no small beans. Destiny 2 is also a blast from the past, coming back to No.8 with The Edge of Fate expansion dropping. As for the martial arts royale Naraka: Bladepoint, it’s chilling at ninth, with Dead by Daylight rounding it all out at tenth, dipping a bit in the ranks.
And here’s the quick rundown for the week ending July 15th. In order from the top: Counter-Strike 2, PUBG, RimWorld, Steam Deck, RimWorld’s Odyssey DLC, Marvel Rivals, Peak, Destiny 2, Naraka: Bladepoint, and finally, Dead by Daylight. Fascinating stuff, right? Or maybe it’s just me getting amped over game charts.
