Valve publishes its weekly list ofSteam’s top-selling games every Sunday. For the third week in a row, that list has been topped by the third-person survival gameValheim.Valheim’s placement is no surprise to PC gamers, as its sales numbers have been widely reported and continue to climb, not to mention its popularity on streaming platforms like Twitch. Yet,Valheimisn’t the only returning game onSteam’s top-sellers list this week, as only one new game has made the climb.
WhileValheimis once again the top-ranked game on Steam’s list this week, the second-place game is alsoTales of Immortal, again.Valheimhas been number onefor three weeks, but the Chinese indie survival game that isn’t localized in English has been number two for four weeks. That goes to show how popular Steam and indie game development is in the growing Chinese market, despite China having its own region-locked version of Steam.

The only brand new game of this week’s Steam top-sellers isPersona 5 Strikersat tenth place, which is up for pre-purchase ahead of its February 23 release. The action-game spin-off of the popular JRPG is highly anticipated among thePersonafanbase, and as such it’s understandable why it’s being pre-purchased even with no benefits to doing so, though thedeluxe edition ofPersona 5 Strikersdoes offer early access.
This week’s top ten list is finished with many of the same titles that have filled the list over the past several months. AfterValheimandTale of Immortalcomes the Valve Index VR Kit,PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds,Rust,Nioh 2 - The Complete Edition,Battlefield 5,Sea of Thieves, andGrand Theft Auto 5. Note that the list is ranked not by overall unit sales, but by revenue. Thus, players shouldn’t be surprised ifValheimhas another strong performance onSteam’s list next week.
