World War 3 breaks out at the top of this week’s Steam Top Ten

World War 3 has pushed through the charts to take No.1 in this week’s Steam Top Ten.

The Farm 51’s take on the modern military shooter launched at No.7 last week. A number of issues at launch kept players from joining servers for the first few days, but those appear to have been ironed out.

Football Manager 2019 keeps a firm defence at No.3 for the second week running. The latest iteration in Sega’s long-running soccer spreadsheet launches this Friday.

Losing a gasp on the highest ledge, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey slips down to No. 4 this week. Meanwhile, Rise of the Tomb Raider steps into its sequel’s shadow, replacing Shadow of the Tomb Raider at No.5.

Slipping four places from its second-place opening last week, Soul Calibur VI lands at No.6 this week.

Cities Skylines - Industries follows at No.7. This latest expansion to Paradox’ city-builder overhauls the industrial side of managing a metropolis with new buildings and services.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance rides back into the fray at No.8, accompanied by a 40 per cent discount. Closing out the list at tenth is Rimworld, down one spot from its long-awaited launch out of early access last week.
