Valve’s weekly report listing thetop-selling products on Steamas measured by revenue is out now. This week’s list is particularly interesting, as it features two previous top sellers resurgent. BothGrand Theft Auto 5andRed Dead Redemption 2have returned to Steam’s top-sellers list, though they haven’t been away for long. Neither game was able to take the top place on the list, however.Valheimremains the top-selling product on Steam, a streak now seven weeks long.
Grand Theft Auto 5climbed the higher of the two Rockstar games on this week’s list. The third-person action game is ranked third overall, the highest its been in some time.Red Dead Redemption 2reached a respectable sixth on the list. The reason for both being here at all is simple. It doesn’t have to do with any updates or news stories. Rather, Steam is holding a massive Rockstar sale.Grand Theft Auto 5is discounted up to 63% andRed Dead Redemption’s price is 33% off.

Even such a massive Rockstar sale couldn’t dethrone the top game of early 2021.Valheimis once again the top-selling game on Steam, where it has been since the start of February and could stay for some time. This past week,Valheim’s developer confirmed that the co-op survival game had crossed six million overall sales, or a million sales every week since launch. Developer Iron Gate AB also teased that it was shifting more and more away from bug fixes and towardValheim’s Hearth and Home update.
Other top performers on Steam this past week include the Valve Index VR Kit in second place, one of the most consistent products on the list.Loop Hero, the unique roguelite, dropped down to fourth after its third rank last week.Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s Operation Broken Fangclimbed from seven to five, perhaps due to the release of the DLC’s final Strike mission. Then in ninth and tenth are thepre-orders forOutridersandTale of Immortal, which still doesn’t have an English patch, respectively.
The remaining games on the list, in seventh and eighth place, are both forForza Horizon 4. Last weekForza Horizon 4climbed all the way up to second, but it doesn’t look like it has that viral staying power that’ll keep a game on the list for more than a couple of weeks. The two placements are for the game’s standard and deluxe editions.
Looking toward next week, there doesn’t seem to be any contenders for the throne coming up. The Overcooked! All you’re able to Eat Editionand the PC port ofPuyo Puyo Tetris 2both have the potential to make the list, though. One wild card to watch isSuper Mecha Champions, an online multiplayer game from thedeveloper ofDiablo Immortal, NetEase. The Chinese Steam market could easily launch the game toward the top of the list. It’ll be interesting to see how it works out.
As forGrand Theft Auto 5, even when it drops from the list it’s never far below. Considering how the Rockstar sale has helped lead to Steam’s highest concurrent player count ever andGrand Theft Auto 5’s popularitystarts to come into scope. If it’s not back next week, it’s just a matter of time.
Grand Theft Auto 5is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
