Last week saw several big releases, which couldn't help but affect the weekly Steam sales chart.

Here's What We Know

The best-selling game of the week was the long-awaited Ukrainian shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. For many years gamers have been waiting for a new opportunity to return to the Zone and when the game became available - for two days its sales exceeded one million copies.

The second place is taken by Steam Deck handheld console, and the next two positions are occupied by Microsoft studio games - Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which suffered a real plane crash on release and disappointed gamers with its technical condition.

Another newcomer to the top 10 was co-operative indie-RPG Luma Island, which is getting good reviews on Steam

The full list of the top ten most profitable Steam products from 19 to 26 November looks like this:

  1. S.T.A.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
  2. Steam Deck
  3. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
  4. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
  5. EA SPORTS FS 25
  6. Farming Simulator 25
  7. Call of Duty

  9. Disney Dreamlight Valley
  10. Hearts of Iron IV

The most profitable free-to-play games of the week were Counter-Strike 2, PUBG and Path of Exile 2 (the game has not been released yet, so it's not clear what it's doing on this list).
