CHARTS: Helldivers 2 spends fourth week at Steam No.1

Co-op sci-fi shooter Helldivers 2 was the biggest-selling title on Steam last week once more.

The title initially launched on February 8th and has held the top spot since its release. The option to upgrade Helldivers 2 to its Super Citizen Edition was the sixth biggest seller of the week, rising up four places week-on-week.

Counter-Strike 2 hangs in at second place, while Valve's Steam Deck hardware shot up three positions to No.3. PUBG: Battlegrounds also rose up one place to fourth place.

Action RPG Last Epoch from Eleventh Hour Games fell down from third to fifth in its second week on sale, coming in ahead of Elden Ring. From Software's smash hit RPG previously returned to the Top Ten on the back of hype surrounding the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

Both Palworld and Baldur's Gate 3 made a return to the Steam Top Ten; the former dropped out of the charts the previous week while the latter hasn't made an appearance since the end of January.

Rounding off the Top Ten is Activision's Call of Duty.

Here is the Steam Top Ten for the week ending March 5th:

1. Helldivers 2, PlayStation
2. Counter-Strike 2, Valve
3. Steam Deck, Valve
4. PUBG: Battlegrounds, Krafton
5. Last Epoch, Eleventh Hour Games
6. Helldivers 2 - Upgrade to Super Citizen Edition, PlayStation
7. Elden Ring, Bandai Namco
