Steam Top Ten sees some reshuffling as ARK: Survival Evolved marks only new entry

Big titles remaining popular in the last days of the summer sale make for a particularly static Steam Top Ten this week.

Steam’s annual shelf-clearing summer sale wrapped up last thursday. With substantial discounts on popular games, we’ve seen a little reorganising but very few new entries in the chart.

Regulars Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, its Sanhok Event Pass and Grand Theft Auto V keep a tight grasp on the top three positions.

Following at No.4 is Final Fantasy XV, the JRPG road trip parked firmly in the same space as last week. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt rides up behind in fifth place, one spot above last week’s No.6 showing. Fellow fantasy foray Divinity: Original Sin 2 joins the party at No.6.

Slipping two spots down from fifth place, Jurassic World takes No.7 this week. The following No.8 spot goes to Counter Strike: Global Offensive, up one spot from ninth place last week.

The Forest slips down a branch, taking No.9 this week. Fellow survival sandbox Ark: Survival Evolved returns to the Top Ten, scavenging a spot at No.10 and marking the only new entry on this week's list.

Below is the Steam Top Ten for the week ending July 7th.

  1. Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, PUBG Corp
  2. Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar
  3. Event Pass: Sanhok, PUBG Corp
  4. Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition, Square Enix
  5. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition, CD Projekt
  6. Divinity: Original Sin 2, Larian Studios
  7. Jurassic World Evolution, Frontier
  8. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve
  9. The Forest, 11bit
  10. Ark: Survival Evolved, Studio Wildcard
