Red Dead Redemption 2<\/h3>\n<p>Red Dead Redemption 2 holds both the ninth and the tenth spots on this list, on this list because of how Steam records this title.<\/p>\n<p>Red Dead Redemption 2 has two versions &#8211; the base game and an Ultimate Edition &#8211; and they are recorded as separate entities.<\/p>\n<p>Although unusual, this has happened before, as was the case with Lego Star Wars: the Skywalker Saga during its release week.<\/p>\n<p>Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently on sale, which may have contributed to it being in the top ten.<\/p>\n<p>It has a Very Positive user review score on Steam.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HVRzx17WHVk\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">8. Monster Hunter Rise<\/h3>\n<p>Monster Hunter Rise maintains its presence in the top ten from last week but drops from its fourth spot.<\/p>\n<p>The latest game in the Monster Hunter franchise, the upcoming June release of the massive Sunbreak DLC is the likely reason for the title&#8217;s presence in the top ten.<\/p>\n<p>New information and trailers have been released for Sunbreak and this is a key driver for the game&#8217;s current popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Monster Hunter Rise has a Very Positive user review score on Steam.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oloUdNtE1HM\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">7. Valve Index VR Kit<\/h3>\n<p>The Valve Index VR Kit has become a regular sight in the top ten, and as a result, its presence this week is not surprising.<\/p>\n<p>The VR equipment bundle also comes with Half-life: Alyx.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is still not available in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Valve-Index.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-124838\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Valve-Index.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Valve-Index.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Valve-Index-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Valve-Index-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">6. Songs of Conquest<\/h3>\n<p>Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game in the style of the Might and Magic games, and was released last Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Though still an Early Access game, the new title from developer Lavapotion has been well-received by players.<\/p>\n<p>Its presence in the top ten is especially noteworthy given its relatively low price tag, which means it sold many copies.<\/p>\n<p>Songs of Conquest currently holds a Very Positive user review score on Steam.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TaMheQOX9yY\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">5. We Were Here Forever<\/h3>\n<p>Another new title in the top ten, We Were Here Forever is an exploration puzzle game with co-op where players must escape from a sinister castle.<\/p>\n<p>We Were Here Forever was also released last Tuesday, but it is not an Early Access title and already has DLC content.<\/p>\n<p>The title has a Very Positive user review score on Steam.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3085f9umxlQ\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">4. The Forest<\/h3>\n<p>The Forest was released in 2018 and is a highly-regarded survival-horror game with crafting and multiplayer.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being several years old, it has managed to make it into the top ten, no doubt due to both the anticipation for its sequel, Sons of the Forest, and a weekend sale that offered the game for 70% off.<\/p>\n<p>Given its low price tag, its position in the top five is impressive.<\/p>\n<p>The Forest has an Overwhelmingly Positive user review score on Steam.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G6l09tvwt1A\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">3. Elden Ring<\/h3>\n<p>Elden Ring has held the second position in the top ten for several weeks and has been in the top ten each week since its launch.<\/p>\n<p>The challenging FromSoftware game has proven to be one of the most successful releases in the company&#8217;s history and is also among the most significant releases thus far this year.<\/p>\n<p>It will most likely be in the top ten next week, but it will be interesting to see whether it maintains its position, drops, or returns to being the number two.<\/p>\n<p>Elden Ring has a Very Positive user review score on Steam.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K_03kFqWfqs\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">2. Stellaris: Overlord<\/h3>\n<p>Stellaris was first released in 2016 by Paradox and has since gained great acclaim among game players while receiving over a dozen DLC content packs.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent of these is Overlord, which introduces new vassalisation mechanics and faction origins, and was released on Thursday last week.<\/p>\n<p>The base game Stellaris currently holds a Very Positive user review score on Steam, while the expansion holds a Mixed user review score.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JWwbWrOwKAo\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">1. Steam Deck<\/h3>\n<p>While Elden Ring may have dropped one position and upset the status quo, the week&#8217;s number one is once again the Steam Deck.<\/p>\n<p>The hand-held PC from Valve continues to sell well and given its track record, we can say with almost certainty that it will be in the top ten next week &#8211; most likely as the number one.<\/p>\n<p>The Steam Deck is currently unavailable in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AvokyBOYe8Y\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/125028-earlier-nvidia-rtx-40-series-launch-date-rumoured\">Earlier Nvidia RTX 40 series launch date rumoured<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the top ten highest revenue games on Steam from last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":125032,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[26100,85,26085],"class_list":["post-125031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","tag-game-revenue","tag-steam","tag-top-ten-games"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
