Deathloop Rises to the Top on Steam Despite Technical Issues on PC

Last week on Steam belonged to the debuting Deathloop. Beaver city builder game Timberborn also recorded a very good launch.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  1. Excellent debut of Deathloop;
  2. Successful launch of Timberborn;
  3. Continuing high sales of Tales of Arise and Naraka: Bladepoint.

As with every Monday, the list of Steam's biggest (by revenue) bestsellers of the week was released. An excellent debut was recorded by Deathloop - two editions of Arkane's latest production took first and third place on the list.

This success was achieved despite the not entirely successful launch on PC, where the game debuted with many technical problems and poor optimization. As you can see, however, other elements of the game make up for it, because as much as 72% of user ratings on Steam are positive.

Tales of Arise continues to be an excellent seller. In the previous list the game took first place, and this time it dropped only one spot Moreover, a successful debut was recorded by the economic strategy Timberborn. The game also met with a very warm reception. On Steam as many as 94% of user reviews are positive, which the service categorizes as "very positive" reception

Finally, it is worth noting the continuing excellent sales of Naraka: Bladepoint, which defended spot number 4. For a while it seemed that the game's popularity would wane, but it was only a temporary hiccup. Last week the project set a new activity record of 157,267 people playing at the same time.
