Dead by Daylight returns to the Top Ten in fourth place thanks to a 60 per cent price cut, coming in ahead of indie co-op climbing game Peak, which launched on June 16th and has already sold over one million copies. 

PUBG: Battlegrounds drops four spots to sixth, while Valve's Steam Deck hardware falls two positions to seventh. Newly-released hack-and-slash Stellar Blade also dropped five places to No.8, while Shadowverse: Worlds beyond from Cygames charts in ninth in its second week on sale.
