Latest Steam Sales Chart Sees New and Returning Favorites
The gaming world is buzzing with the latest Steam sales chart data for the week of September 16th to September 23rd, revealing a dynamic landscape where new releases make strong debuts and established titles maintain their dominance. This week, we saw some exciting shifts, with horror title Silent Hill f and the action-packed Dying Light: The Beast making notable ascensions.
Leading the charge in the overall chart, which includes both free-to-play and premium products, were giants like Counter-Strike 2 and Dying Light: The Beast. Valve's own Dota 2 also experienced a significant surge, likely benefiting from the recent conclusion of its massive championship, The International, on September 14th.
Key Highlights from the Paid Products Chart
Among the top-selling paid products, Dying Light: The Beast jumped an impressive nine spots to claim the number one position. This indicates strong player interest following its release or recent updates. The much-anticipated horror title, Silent Hill f, also made a remarkable entry, climbing to seventh place. This ascent could very well be fueled by positive early reviews and player anticipation, even if its full release is slated for later, with these charts often reflecting strong pre-order numbers or early access performance.
Other significant movers in the paid chart include EA Sports FC 26, which moved up to second, and Cyberpunk 2077, making a colossal leap from 48th to 6th place, demonstrating its enduring popularity and perhaps the impact of recent updates or discounts.
