CHARTS: Battlefield 6 drops to No.2 in third week on Steam

EA's Battlefield 6 has dropped to second place for the first time since its release. 

The shooter debuted on October 10th and has been the highest grossing game on Steam for its first two weeks on sale; Counter-Strike 2 is once again No.1, potentially on the back of an update that drastically changed the value of items found in the games loot box mechanic. 

Superhero management title Dispatch from AdHoc Studio debuted in third place, while co-op driving game RV There Yet has debuted in fourth having sold 1.3 million units since release. 

Escape from Duckov rose one place week-on-week, having shifted over two million copies, coming in ahead of pre-orders for Arc Raiders from Embark Studio. The extraction shooter is set to launch on October 30th. Valve's Steam Deck also dropped three spots to No.7. 

Pre-orders for Football Manager 26 rose 19 spots to eighth on the back of news that the sim title had signed a deal with FIFA, while Jurassic World Evolution 3 debuted in ninth following its October 21st release. 

Rounding off the Top Ten are pre-orders for The Outer Worlds 2.
