Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Remaster Makes Strong Steam Debut
The recently launched Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition has made an impressive splash on the Steam charts, landing at the sixth spot in the top-selling paid products by revenue for the week of August 12-19. This strong debut highlights the enduring appeal of the classic real-time strategy series.
Despite a competitive week, the Definitive Edition managed to secure a spot in the overall top 10 products, even amongst popular free-to-play titles. It also saw a peak concurrent player count of 18,262 during its launch week, showcasing a solid player base right out of the gate. Initial reports indicate the remaster sold around 150,000 copies, a robust figure for a definitive edition.
PEAK Climbs to the Top
While the Dawn of War remaster showed great promise, the ultimate victor of the week was PEAK, which ascended to the number one spot on the paid products chart for the first time. This success was largely driven by a recent sale, offering a 38% discount, which spurred nearly 2 million additional purchases. This brings the total sales for the climbing simulator to an impressive 9.7 million copies globally. PEAK also registered a significant peak concurrent player count of 170,759.
Battlefield 6 Holds Its Ground
Last week's chart battle between Battlefield 6 and Mafia: The Old Country saw Battlefield 6 emerge as the stronger contender. While it couldn't hold onto its number one position, Battlefield 6 remained firmly within the top 10, demonstrating its continued popularity among players despite the strong competition from other new and discounted titles.
