Survival game Valheim from developer Iron Gate and Coffee Stain Publishing has shot straight to the top of the charts on Steam.

The title launched into Early Access on February 2nd and the Swedish studio already having published a roadmap for upcoming content in 2021, likely giving consumers a degree of confidence in the game.

Lightning Games' Tale of the Immortal holds steady in second place following its debut on Steam at the end of January, while the Complete Edition of Koei Tecmo's samurai-styled souls-like Nioh 2 takes third place following its February 5th release.

Pre-orders for the recently-announced Total War: Warhammer III were the fourth highest-selling item of the week. Creative Assembly's latest entry in its licensed RTS series is set to launch in later 2021 and comes in the wake of the studio's 2019 Total War: Three Kingdoms seeing blockbuster success in China.

Valve's Index VR headset was the fifth best-selling item, charting ahead of last week's No.1 spot holder, Gamera Game's Dyson Sphere Program. That title charted in sixth this week.

Facepunch's Rust drops from fourth to seventh week-on-week following its blockbuster success at the start of 2021, while Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt drops from fifth to eighth.

Pre-orders for the upcoming remasters of the first three Mass Effect titles – Legendary Edition – took No.9 this week ahead of its May launch, ahead of the Game of the Year Edition of Activision's Souls-like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This game came in tenth thanks to a 35 per cent discount.
