Last week, RuneScape: Dragonwilds made an impressive entrance as the second highest-grossing game on Steam.
Released on April 15th, this fresh title from Jagex is making waves with a peak of 52,641 players simultaneously in the game, as reported by SteamDB. It’s quite the performance for a new release, and it’s showing promising success.
Meanwhile, Counter-Strike 2 has held onto its position as the top earner on Steam. RuneScape: Dragonwild’s strong debut nudged Schedule 1 down to third place, and the Steam Deck remained steady at number four.
The action RPG Last Epoch made a notable comeback, climbing an impressive 76 spots to land in fifth place. This boost is courtesy of the game’s second season content drop. The co-op horror game REPO continues to maintain its grip on the sixth position.
Meanwhile, Marvel Rivals slipped down four spots to seventh. However, Baldur’s Gate 3 from Larian saw a slight rise, moving up one place as it benefits from an ongoing discount on Steam.
Despite facing some launch day technical glitches, the Command and Conquer-inspired Tempest Rising secured its debut in the top ten, slipping into the tenth spot.
Here’s how the Steam Top Ten looked for the week ending April 22nd:
1. Counter-Strike 2 by Valve
2. RuneScape: Dragonwilds by Jagex
3. Schedule 1 by TVGS
4. Steam Deck by Valve
5. Last Epoch by Eleventh Hour
6. REPO
With these dynamic shifts in rankings, the world of gaming remains as exciting and unpredictable as ever.
