The success of Gray Zone Warfare and the triumphant return of Total War: Warhammer III - big changes in the weekly sales chart

The weekly Steam sales chart has been published, and this time there are a lot of interesting changes.

Here's What We Know

The most successful paid game of the week was a new Extraction-shooter Gray Zone Warfare, which was released in early access and is very popular.

The second place was taken by the early version of another hit of 2024 - city-building strategy Manor Lords. Recall that at the moment the The future of Manor Lords is in the hands of the players: the developer of the hit strategy game is conducting a poll on the priority areas of the game's development to determine which innovations he should focus on first.

Immediately four places in the chart took fantasy strategy Total War: Warhammer III. It owes its success to the release of the major add-on Thrones of Decay and several accompanying DLC.

The scandal around Helldivers 2, although ended with concessions to Sony, but led to a decline in sales of the game. Recall, last week the shooter stopped selling in 177 countries.

The full list of the ten most profitable Steam items from 30 April to 7 May looks like this:

  1. Gray Zone Warfare
  2. Manor Lords
  3. Total War: Warhammer III
  4. Steam Deck
  5. Helldivers 2
  6. EA SPORTS FC 24
  7. Total War: Warhammer III - Elspeth - Thrones of Decay
  8. Total War: Warhammer III - Malakai - Thrones of Decay
  9. Fallout 76
  10. Total War: Warhammer III - Tamurkhan - Thrones of Decay

The most profitable conventionally free games of the week were Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2 and Apex Legends.
