CHARTS: Monster Hunter Wilds Ranks as Third Highest Grossing Pre-Order on Steam Last Week

Last week, the anticipation for Monster Hunter Wilds reached fever pitch, as its pre-orders climbed to the third spot among the top-performing titles on Steam. Slated for release on February 28th, the game’s rising pre-launch sales reflect the eager excitement surrounding this newest installment from Capcom’s beloved action RPG franchise. Back in 2019, after the release of Monster Hunter Worlds, Capcom noted that PC was its second-best platform, setting high expectations for their upcoming release.

Meanwhile, Counter-Strike 2 snagged the No.1 position once again, showcasing its enduring appeal, while Civilization 7 moved to the second spot. This strategy game, after making a strong debut at No.3 when it launched on February 10th, clearly has gained traction despite only having a single day of initial chart data to boost its performance. In contrast, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 slipped down three places to settle in fourth position, despite achieving over two million sales. On the other hand, Apex Legends made a dramatic leap of 22 spots to land fifth, spurred by a fresh season packed with new content.

As for the hardware and other games, Valve’s Steam Deck, PUBG: Battlegrounds, and Marvel Rivals each fell by a single position, now claiming the sixth, seventh, and eighth spots, respectively. The latest RPG from Obsidian, Avowed, made its entrance at ninth place. Meanwhile, Warframe rounded off the top ten by climbing up two positions, marking its return to the spotlight.
