CHARTS: Ghost of Tsushima debuts at No.2 on Steam

Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima is the latest PlayStation title to make its debut on Steam.

The Director's Cut of the action RPG made its debut on May 16th and was the second highest-selling title of the week. Ghost of Tsushima came in at No.2, only beaten – naturally – by Counter-Strike 2. Valve's Steam Deck hardware was the third biggest seller, rising one place week-on-week.

Battle royale giant PUBG: Battlegrounds returned to the Top Ten in fourth – up from last week's 15th – likely off the back of the game celebrating its original map, Erangel.

Dota 2 rose three places to No.8, while Baldur's Gate 3 shot up from No.26 to sixth thanks to a 15% price cut. Larian's D&D game isn't the only RPG to make a return to the Top Ten; Cyberpunk 2077 came in at No.7 having been in 61st place last week, all off the back of a 50% discount.

Last week's No.2, Hades 2, fell down to No.8, while Apex Legends dropped six places to ninth.

Rounding up the Top Ten is Helldivers 2, which fell four places to No.10.

Here is the Steam Top Ten for the week ending May 21st:

1. Counter-Strike 2, Valve
2. Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, PlayStation
3. Steam Deck, Valve
4. PUBG: Battlegrounds, Krafton
5. Dota 2, Valve
6. Baldur's Gate 3, Larian Studios
7. Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt
8. Hades 2, Supergiant
9. Apex Legends, EA
10. Helldivers 2, PlayStation
