CHARTS: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 continues to see Steam popularity

Three weeks after its release, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is continuing to be popular on Steam.

The Vault Edition, which comes with some weapons and characters, makes its debut in fifth place, while the option to upgrade from the base version of the game to this enhanced version was the fourth highest-selling item on Steam.

Fellow Activision title Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - Game of the Year Edition, makes a return to the Steam Top Ten at No.6 thanks to a 50 per cent price cut.

Third place went to pre-orders for new Fatshark shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, which is set to release on November 30th, with the game's Imperial Edition came in ninth place.

PlayStation title Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales debuts in seventh following its November 18th release. That comes in the wake of the base version of the game launching back in August to critical acclaim.

In No.8 is Nobody - The Turnaround, a brand new life simulator from Thermite Games, while the Texas expansion for American Truck Simulator in the wake of its November 15th launch.
