RimWorld’s New DLC Rockets Game Back into Steam’s Top Ten

You know that feeling when you’re digging through your old games and suddenly find a gem you forgot about? Yeah, that’s kinda what happened with RimWorld. Just popped back into Steam’s Top Ten like it was no big deal, all because of this new Odyssey DLC. Crazy, right? It jumps up 58 spots to snag third place, and, oh yeah – there’s a sweet 20% discount adding to the chaos.

And speaking of chaos, Counter-Strike 2 is still hanging out at the number one spot. Not surprising, though. PUBG: Battlegrounds wasn’t just chilling either. It scooted up three positions to second, all thanks to some wild crossover thing with Aespa. Am I missing something with K-pop lately?

Then there’s Valve’s Steam Deck. I mean, it slid down a couple notches to fourth. But hey, what are you gonna do? Right behind it, we’ve got NetEase’s Marvel Rivals climbing 25 spots to sixth, probably because they just dropped a ton of new content on July 11th. It’s like a game of musical chairs, honestly.

Now, Indie darling Peak fell to No.7. Maybe it’s tired after hitting 4.5 million units sold. I don’t know. But then Destiny 2 makes a comeback to eighth, probably riding the wave of The Edge of Fate expansion. July 15th seems like it was a busy day for dropping stuff. Coincidence? Maybe.

Oh, and just when you thought it was over, Naraka: Bladepoint sneaks in at ninth, while Dead by Daylight stumbles down to tenth. Just another week in the wild, wacky world of Steam charts.

Here’s how the rollercoaster ride looked by July 15th, if you’re keeping score:

1. Counter-Strike 2, Valve
2. PUBG: Battlegrounds, Krafton
3. RimWorld, Ludeon Studios
4. Steam Deck, Valve
5. RimWorld – Odyssey, Ludeon Studios
6. Marvel Rivals, NetEase
7. Peak, Aggro Crab
8. Destiny 2, Bungie
9. Naraka: Bladepoint, NetEase
10. Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive

And there it is. A whole week wrapped in digital mayhem. What’s next? Who knows.
