CHARTS: Clair Obscur Expedition 33 rose to No.2 in second week

Critically acclaimed role-playing game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was the second highest grossing title on Steam last week. 

The game rose up one spot from its debut of third place, likely due to the buzz about the title on social media and within the games space. Counter-Strike 2 rose up one position to reclaim the No.1 spot, while last week's best seller, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered fell down to third place in its second week. 

Valve's Steam Deck was once again the fourth highest-grossing game on the platform last week, while Schedule 1 held No.5 spot for another week. Horror romp REPO rose up one position to sixth, coming in ahead of Rust which shot up 32 places to seventh on the back of a 50 per cent price cut. 

Stunlock Studio's V Rising also rose up 32 spots to eighth, while PUBG: Battlegrounds dropped one position to ninth. Military sim title War Thunder rounds off the charts in tenth place. 

Here is the Steam Top Ten for the week ending May 6th: 

1. Counter-Strike 2, Valve
2. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Kepler Interactive
3. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda
4. Steam Deck, Valve
