Witcher 3, Final Fantasy XV and Divinity Original Sin 2 returning to Steam Top Ten thanks to price cuts

Sales activity has seen a number of popular role-playing games returning to the Steam charts.

The Game of the Year SKU of CD Projekt RED's The Witcher 3 was the third-best selling title of the week thanks to a 50 per cent price drop. Meanwhile, Final Fantasy XV charted in fourth place, having dropped out of the Top Ten a few weeks ago.

Another popular RPG comes in at sixth place - Divinity: Original Sin 2. That title was released back in September and has been a big seller for developer Larian Studios.

Back at the head of the charts, it's the same old faces with Playerunknown's Battlegrounds coming in the No.1 spot and Far Cry 5 holding on to second place.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 came in ninth place, having sailed past the one million sales mark.

And Skyrim appears twice in this week's Top Ten: the vanilla SKU comes in at eighth place, while the VR edition charted at No.10.
