CHARTS: Resident Evil 4 debuts at No.2

CHARTS: Resident Evil 4 debuts at No.2

Capcom's remake of the classic title Resident Evil 4 was the second biggest seller on Valve last week.

The title was previously sixth based on its pre-orders but has come out to critical acclaim. Capcom has posted to its investor relations page that the game has shipped over three million units to date, so it's off to a pretty good start.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was the biggest revenue generator last week – rising one place week-on-week – as it hits a new record of 1.5 million concurrent players. Meanwhile, Valve's Steam Deck hardware drops two places down to third week-on-week, charting ahead of Apex Legends which hands steady in No.4.

Destiny 2 also remains in fifth, charting ahead of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which rises two positions to No.7. Battle royale progenitor PUBG: Battlegrounds drops from third to seventh week-on-week, FIFA 23 returning to the Top Ten in No.8. Sons of the Forest is once again ninth, while Forza Horizon 5 returns to the charts in tenth off the back of a 40 per cent price cut.

Here is the Steam Top Ten for the week ending March 28th:

1. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve
2. Resident Evil 4, Capcom
3. Steam Deck, Valve
4. Apex Legends, EA
5. Destiny 2, Bungie
6. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Activision
