The top 10 selling games on Steam for last week. They mainly include new entries but there are some veterans clinging on still.
1. Total War: ROME II
2. PAYDAY 2
3. Saints Row IV
4. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist
5. You Need a Budget
6. Sid Meier's Civilization V Brave New World
7. Castlevania: Lords of Shadows - Ultimate Edition
8. Prison Architect
9. Game Dev Tycoon
10. Arma III Beta
On 16 May, the long-awaited release of the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima took place. And the game proved to be a great success on the first day.
It has surpassed spider man now
it's 71k+
game did this with way shorter time than spider man.
@prince
I'm confused. Does that number mean total players at one time playing like a snapshot
or total sales? If it's the former that's not very accurate because I know I'm not the only person that buys games and plays them later and that number is not included.
Is this going to be the new thing thing? Articles about Steam reviews? Which of course was in response to the false article about the review bombings in the first place.
Hey, just a heads up that the new owners did open news to Steam updates, but we try our best to not allow them to go on daily updates unless relevant to some other news. I understand this isn't everyone's cup and tea and sympathize, but the door has been open. If you feel it's 'too much' please do PM me or submit a ticket to the mod team. Thank you.
I came here to post this link in that specific article. 84 perce t is pretty good. How many bad reviews were there like 5
I always get confused by this, but is 72k good sales numbers for a game? I keep seeing games fail at selling 2.5 million and that they need to be on multiple platforms but is an additional 72k adding much?
Im not sure how its confusing :\
72k actively playing. Not 72k sold.
A good example is Helldivers 2, 6m sold, 450k (at its peak) active players.
But how many swords swung is what we're all really waiting for.
for one they already had a huge launch on the playstation, they don't need to sell 5m to make the porting to pc profitable and as pointed out below that number you see is just the people playing it at this moment.
Also from the insomniac leak we know these PC ports are a quick turnaround and budgeted around $2-4 million. At 100k sales they break even including Steams cut. They may not sell millions but they are a great ROI
72k concurrent. That is a global number. People who bought the game are not playing at the same time because of timezones, working schedules, holidays, events... There is no good rule of thumb but you can extrapolate based on other games that also released sales data. Then it is clear that the PC release alone accounts for at least 500K copies sold on steam, maybe closer to 700-800K. Probably will sell over a million this extended weekend.
According to steamspy and other data gathering sites games like Days Gone, Spider Man, God Of War, Horizon Zero Dawn have sold 2 to 5 million copies on Steam. So I expect Ghost to reach similar numbers. Probably even surpass it.
Mecha Party brings the VR MOBA to Europe and Asia on PSVR 2 and Steam, while the Quest 3 version targets a summer release.
This looks pretty good. RIGZ made me queasy but I've got better VR legs now (I think).
This article explains how to link your Steam and PlayStation Networks accounts, which is becoming a must for Helldivers 2.
I Proudly Own Rome II, Payday 2, and Arma 3 Beta.
I'm sure next week Amnesia A Machine for Pigs will be in the top 10
Rome 2 is such a disappointing mess. The real shame is that most of the problems should have been evident during playtesting, and should be easily fixable...
...But they aren't because CA made the data files much less accessible, meaning even basic mods to fix stupid decisions in the game will take a lot longer to come out. Gotta work on breaking through the encrypted data first--and to think they were declaring that it would be the "most modable" Total War game to date.
Looking to expand my gaming.After I buy my ps4 a pc is my next savings target.So I'd like to know is this a good pc(I'm not a techy and I'm not into building PC I might touch the wrong thing.)
