Early Access darling Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds has topped the Steam charts once again.

What’s impressive about the game managing that feat this week is that this is during the Steam Summer Sale – and the battle royale title isn’t even discounted.

Battlegrounds charts ahead of Grand Theft Auto V, which has seen a 50 per cent reduction in price as part of the Steam sale. Rockstar’s crime romp comes in ahead of Square Enix and Platinum Games team-up Nier Automata.

That title saw a relatively modest 30 per cent price cut, yet storms back into the Top Ten at third place.

At the No.4 spot is Valve’s own Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which charts ahead of the game of the year editions of both The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

Bethesda has two titles in the Top Ten; Arkane’s steampunk action title Dishonored 2 takes No.7, while Fallout 4 comes in at ninth place.

Meanwhile, Early Access PvP title H1Z1: King of the Kill takes the No.8 spot and Team Cherry’s Metroidvania title Hollow Knight closes out the chart at No.10.

1. Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, Bluehole

3. Nier Automata, Square Enix
