There are rarely situations in the weekly Steam sales chart, but today is such a case.

Here's What We Know

Among paid goods the portable console Steam Deck appeared at the top of the chart - the gadget hasn't taken the first place for a long time, although it has been confidently keeping in the top three for several years, but not this fact became entertaining. Among games (paid) the most profitable was MahjongSoul gameplay (MahjongSoul) - it is a popular online game of Japanese mahjong with a bright anime style and competitive multiplayer, but the surprising situation is made by the fact that the game is available exclusively in China and is not known outside this country. Apparently, the update to MahjongSoul update, which was released last week, was so much liked by Chinese gamers that they spared no money for the game.

Otherwise, the list is quite predictable and mostly consists of pre-orders of top new releases: Battlefield 6, EA SPORTS FC 26, Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater and Borderlands 4.

By the way, the big Battlefield 2042 update stirred interest in the scandalous shooter and brought it back to the top ten.

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

  1. Steam Deck
  2. 雀魂麻將(MahjongSoul)
  3. PEAK
  4. Battlefield 6
  5. EA SPORTS FC 26
  6. Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater
  7. Borderlands 4
  8. Forza Horizon 5
  9. Battlefield 2042
  10. Dead by Daylight

Counter-Strike 2, PUBG and Apex Legends were the most profitable conditional free-to-play games of the week.
