Silent Hill 2
EA Sports FC 25, which topped the Steam charts last week, dropped to 5th place overall. As a result, Counter-Strike 2 became the highest-grossing product on the platform for the week of October 1-8.
Bandai Namco’s upcoming fighting game Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO moved up eight positions to #2 overall, making it the top premium title by gross revenue over the past seven days. Expected to launch on October 11, it is the first mainline installment in the series since 2007’s Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3.
NCSoft’s free-to-play MMORPG Throne and Liberty debuted at #3 overall, with three separate microtransaction packs landing in the top 30. The game also peaked at over 330k concurrent players following its launch on Steam in the Americas, Europe, and Japan.
Silent Hill 2 jumped 78 positions to #6 overall (#3 when only looking at premium titles). The remake of the classic horror game showed solid performance on the store after its worldwide release, receiving an “Overwhelmingly Positive” (98%) rating and peaking at 14.9k CCU.
This makes Silent Hill 2 the second-biggest game developed by Bloober Team by peak concurrent players, behind only 2016’s Layers of Fear (145.3k CCU).

Top 20 highest-grossing products on Steam, including F2P titles and Steam Deck, for the week of October 1-8
Thanks to the release of the Vessel of Hatred expansion, Diablo IV jumped 59 spots to #9 overall (#5 among premium games). The DLC currently has a “Mostly Negative” (30% positive) rating on Steam, but most of the criticism is directed at servers and other technical issues rather than the game itself.

The Until Dawn remake had a lackluster debut, landing at #42. The Ballistic Moon-developed game received “Mixed” reviews (69% positive) from users, peaking at just 2,600 concurrent players.
Metaphor: ReFantazio, which launches on October 11, moved up 26 places to #21 overall. Looking at per-orders for other upcoming titles, Monster Hunter Wilds dropped from 5th to 24th place, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 climbed to #48, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard landed at #74.
