The recently released Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl was the highest-grossing game on Steam last week. 

The title rolled out on November 20th and has sold over one million copies to date. That's on top of players who have experienced the survival shooter via Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass. It'll no doubt be good news to the staff at developer GSC Game World, many of whom finished creating Stalker 2 in a literal warzone.

Heart of Chornobyl pushed Counter-Strike 2 into second place for the week, while Valve's Steam Deck hardware shot up two places to third on the back of a limited white version of the console being released. This launched on November 18th and sold out more or less straight away. 

PUBG: Battlegrounds and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 both dropped one spot to fourth and fifth respectively, while Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 debuted in sixth place. That's despite widely reported technical issues with the game. 

The upcoming Early Access RPG Path of Exile made it to No.7 in the Steam Top Ten ahead of its launch in December thanks to Supporter Packs which give users access to the game on its release. 

Amazon and NCSoft's Throne and Liberty rose up two positions to eighth, coming in ahead of EA Sports FC 25 in ninth place. Dota 2 rounds off the charts at No.10.
