CHARTS: Arc Raiders extracts to No.1 on Steam

Extraction shooter Arc Raiders was the highest-grossing game on Steam last week. 

The title launched on October 30th following a groundswell of hype; the game outsold Battlefield 6 in its fourth week on sale. Counter-Strike 2 has to settle for a rare third place on Steam, coming in ahead of superhero management title Dispatch, which dropped one spot to fourth. 

Steam Deck rose two spots to fifth, while the first season pass for Battlefield 6 debuted in sixth place. The Outer Worlds 2 launched on October 29th and charted in seventh, coming in ahead of RV There Yet, which dropped four spots to eighth. 

Crusader Kings 3 returned to the Top Ten – neigh, the Top 100 – in ninth place thanks to a discount on Steam, while Escape from Duckov dropped five spots to rank in tenth.
