Black Myth: Wukong out of competition: new action game became the absolute leader of Steam sales chart

By: Anton Kratiuk | today, 14:24

It's time to take a look at the weekly Steam sales chart, especially since there's a lot to discuss this time around.

Here's What We Know

The first place of the chart (and apparently - for a long time) is occupied by the action game Black Myth: Wukong, which was released today and in just a few hours attracted more than 1.5 million people - and this is only on Steam (at the moment of writing this article this number was 1 681 403 people)!

The second place is stable for Steam Deck console, and the third place is occupied by space strategy Sins of a Solar Empire II, which was released on Steam only a few days ago.

Indie game shapez 2, which was released last week, is also performing well - it started its way from the fifth place in the chart.

Cyberpunk 2077, Cult of the Lamb and Persona 5 Royal are also very popular thanks to discounts. Elden Ring, on the other hand, is gradually losing ground and this week it was already in 9th place.

The full list of the ten most profitable Steam products from 13th to 20th of August looks like this:

  1. Black Myth: Wukong
  2. Steam Deck
  3. Sins of a Solar Empire II
  4. Cyberpunk 2077
  5. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
  6. Cult of the Lamb
  7. shapez 2
  8. Crime Scene Cleaner
  9. Elden Ring
  10. Persona 5 Royal

The most profitable free-to-play games of the week were Counter-Strike 2? PUBG and Chinese survival simulator Once Human.
