CHARTS: Resident Evil 4 dropped to No.3 last week

Capcom's Resident Evil 4 fell one position last week to No.3.

The title debuted at the end of March, going straight to second place in the Steam Top Ten. The No.1 spot once again goes to Valve's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, while the company's Steam Deck hardware falls one position to fourth week-on-week.

Apex Legends rose up two places, likely due to the shooter's April Fool's in-game event. Destiny 2 hangs steady in fifth, while PUBG: Battlegrounds rose one position to sixth. The free-to-play battle royale romp charts ahead of the newly-released PC version of The Last of Us Part 1.

That game was released on March 28th to mixed reviews owing to the title's apparently poor-quality PC port, though still garnered a lot of attention due to it being the franchise's debut on PC and the popularity of the HBO TV show.

FIFA 23 remains in eighth place, coming in ahead of the newcomer single-player fishing adventure, Dredge. The title launched on March 30th to overwhelmingly positive reviews. Rounding off the Top Ten is Naraka: Bladepoint from Chinese games giant NetEase, which rose up from No.24 last week.

Here is the Steam Top Ten for the week ending April 4th:

1. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve
2. Apex Legends, EA
3. Resident Evil 4, Capcom
4. Steam Deck, Valve
5. Destiny 2, Bungie
6. PUBG: Battlegrounds, Krafton
7. The Last of Us Part 1, Sony
8. FIFA 23, EA
9. Dredge, Team17
10. Naraka: Bladepoint, NetEase
