CHARTS: Indie shooter BattleBit Remastered debuts at No.2 on Steam

BattleBit Remastered, an indie shooter made by just four people, was the second biggest-selling on Steam last week.

The title – made by SgtOkiDoki – debuted on June 15th and is clearly inspired by older Battlefield titles with a focus on shooting and destruction.

It comes second only to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which honestly is not leaving the NO.1 spot any time soon. Valve's Steam Deck hardware drops three places week-on-week to No.6.

PUBG: Battlegrounds rose three places up to third week-on-week, charting ahead of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which hangs steady to the No.4 spot. The BlackCell 02 Season 4 battle pass for COD made its debut in ninth, too.

F1 23 from EA makes its debut in fifth place, while Cyberpunk 2077 shoots up eight places to the No.7 spot thanks to more news about the upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion (which charted at No.18) as well as a 50 per cent price cut on Steam.

Pre-orders for Starfield were the eighth biggest seller on Steam last week, again thanks to publisher Bethesda sharing more information about the ambitious sci-fi RPG, while Lost Ark from Amazon rounds off the charts in tenth place.

Here is the Steam Top Ten for the week ending June 20th:

1. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve
2. BattleBit Remastered, SgtOkiDoki
3. PUBG: Battlegrounds, Krafton
4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Activision
5. F1 23, EA
6. Steam Deck, Valve
7. Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt
8. Starfield, Bethesda (P)
9. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - BlackCell 02, Activision
10. Lost Ark, Amazon
