The newly-released Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has shot straight to No.1 on Steam. 

The title launched on September 9th and comes out on the back of strong pre-orders. Last week, pre-purchases of the Warhammer 40k shooter were the fourth biggest seller on Steam. 

Space Marine 2 knocks Black Myth: Wukong from the top spot; the Chinese action RPG fell down to third place, while Counter-Strike 2 rose up once position to second. The latest entry in 2K Games' NBA 2K franchise, 25, makes its debut in fourth place, coming in ahead of battle royale hit PUBG: Battlegrounds, which hangs steady in fifth. 

Baldur's Gate 3 returns to the Top Ten in sixth – up 20 places week-on-week – thanks to a 20 per cent price cut on the RPG smash hit. Meanwhile, Valve's Steam Deck hardware hangs onto seventh place, clocking more in revenue than the remake of iconic strategy Age of Mythology debuted in eighth on September 4th. 

Apex Legends returns to the Top Ten in ninth – up from No.32 last week – while Dota 2 rounds off the charts in tenth place. Interestingly, last week's No.2 – pre-orders for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – are nowhere to be seen in the Top Ten, though they did chart at No.11.
