CHARTS: Destiny 2’s New Content Boosts It to Second Place on Steam

Alright, so picture this: Destiny 2 just soared back into the Steam Top Ten. Why? Because Bungie dropped some big news. They’ve got these two expansions coming up. One’s called Edge of Fate, landing in July. Then there’s this Star Wars-y one, Renegades, out in December. And, oh yeah, they already kicked out Rite of the Nine on May 6th. All this buzz made Destiny 2 jump a whopping 83 spots from last week. I mean, who doesn’t love a good comeback, right?

Moving on to our usual suspect, Counter-Strike 2. No surprises here, as it’s pulling in all the cash again, holding the top spot. But here’s a twist – Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 didn’t just chill; it decided to drop to third. Still, it’s doing better than The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered for two weeks now. Bethesda’s darling tumbled down to seventh. Ouch.

Oh, and the Steam Deck? Yeah, that thing’s like a stubborn weed, sticking to its spot as the fourth biggest seller. Even with Doom: The Dark Ages just around the corner on May 15th, with pre-sales heating up at number five. Makes you think, are PC folks just not vibing with Xbox Game Pass? Weird, I know.

Apex Legends decided to spice things up with some new season goodies, and guess what? It leaped up 16 spots to number six. Meanwhile, Stellaris got a sweet shot in the arm with a Paradox sale, sliding back into eighth place with a crazy 75% off. Who doesn’t love a discount, am I right?

Schedule 1 took a little tumble to ninth, and guess who’s hanging in there at number ten again? Yep, it’s War Thunder, doing its free-to-play thing.

And here’s how it all shakes down for the week ending May 13th, in case you’re tracking:

1. Counter-Strike 2
2. Destiny 2
3. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
4. Steam Deck
5. Doom: The Dark Ages (P)
6. Apex Legends
7. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered
8. Stellaris
9. Schedule 1
10. War Thunder

Isn’t that a mix? I mean, gaming’s got its own wild rhythm.
