Cyberpunk tops the Steam charts amid 1.6 update

Each week, the list of best-selling titles across Steam is released, giving us insight into what PC users have been playing over the past 7 days. The 37th week of 2022 (ending 18th of September) has seen many older titles leapfrog back to the top of the charts, with Cyberpunk 2077 in particular seeing a massive jump.

As reported by SteamDB, the top 10 best-selling products during the past week is as follows:

1. Steam Deck
2. Cyberpunk 2077
3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
5. NBA 2K23
6. God of War
7. Metal: Hellsinger
8. Horizon Zero Dawn
9. Days Gone
10. Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

The Steam Deck continues to top the charts, though this is unsurprising due to SteamDB measuring by revenue and not unit sales. Hardware aside, Cyberpunk 2077 was the best-selling game of the week, likely due to the recent release of patch 1.6 which brings with it a whole host of improvements (the list of which can be found HERE).

Call of Duty Modern Warfare II serves as Activision’s grand return to the Steam platform, and with the game mere weeks away, its placement makes sense.

A large majority of the remainder of the top 10 is taken up by various Sony titles, with God of War selling the most. Sony did host a publisher sale on Steam, hence the inclusion of many ex-PlayStation exclusives. With Sony’s recent State of Play also highlighting God of War Ragnarok, it is safe to assume that the excitement surrounding it has helped push the previous title into the charts.
