As a result, even if a game sold many copies, it may not make this list if its overall price was low.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, due to the way Steam records its developer&#8217;s game data, DLC packs of games, such as Deluxe Editions, are listed separately and as such, the same game can appear on this list in multiple positions.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the top ten for the week of 29 May.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">10. Sniper Elite 5<\/h3>\n<p>The fifth entry into the Sniper Elite series was released on 25 May last week.<\/p>\n<p>As a new release in a well-regarded franchise, it&#8217;s not surprising to see it make it into the top ten.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is uncertain whether or not it will appear in the next top ten list.<\/p>\n<p>Sniper Elite 5 has a Mostly Positive user review score on Steam.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kcQX1djYtQw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">9. No Man&#8217;s Sky<\/h3>\n<p>No Man&#8217;s Sky is a title that went down in infamy for one of the worst launches in gaming history. However, thanks to its developer&#8217;s constant updates and support, the title has developed a steadfast community.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent update to No Man&#8217;s Sky, the Leviathan Expedition, was released last week and offers a new experience with roguelike gameplay and numerous new rewards.<\/p>\n<p>No Man&#8217;s Sky is currently on sale, which likely helped it make it into the top ten.<\/p>\n<p>The title has a Mostly Positive overall user review score and a Very Positive recent review user review score.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wtNg3TR_cGM\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">8. Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ &#8211; VIP Edition<\/h3>\n<p>Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ is a premier rhythm game that allows the player to take centre stage as a virtual pop star.<\/p>\n<p>It is an unexpected title in the top ten given it isn&#8217;t a mainstream game &#8211; however, this is likely because it is a new release, having launched on 26 May.<\/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\/5VrAev5-SOw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">7. Valve Index VR Kit<\/h3>\n<p>The Valve Index VR Kit, as expected, remains in the top ten but has dropped from its sixth position.<\/p>\n<p>The VR equipment bundle comes with Half-life: Alyx.<\/p>\n<p>It isn&#8217;t 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. V Rising &#8211; Founders Pack: Eldest Bloodline<\/h3>\n<p>V Rising retains its spot in the top ten for a second week, with its Founders Pack dropping only one place from last week&#8217;s fifth position.<\/p>\n<p>The vampire survival game has received praise from most gamers for its solid and enjoyable gameplay loop and high quality despite being an early access title.<\/p>\n<p>V Rising &#8211; Founders Pack: Eldest Bloodline has a Very Positive user review score.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r9aaaHhajv0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">5. My Time at Sandrock<\/h3>\n<p>My Time at Sandrock puts players in charge of a fledgling builder as they strive to save a town from economic ruin.<\/p>\n<p>My Time at Sandrock is another new release as it was launched into Early Access on 25 May.<\/p>\n<p>It has a Mostly Positive user review score on Steam.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FTZ5csdOdac\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">4. FIFA 22<\/h3>\n<p>FIFA 22 retains its position in the top ten and even increased its rank from last week, rising four positions from eighth.<\/p>\n<p>The sports title has had a substantial discount for some time which likely explains its presence on this list.<\/p>\n<p>FIFA 22 has a Mostly Positive overall user review score and a Very Positive recent user review score.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SYsi5QuOJNE\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">3. Elden Ring<\/h3>\n<p>Last week we speculated that Elden Ring&#8217;s time on the top ten could have been coming to a close.<\/p>\n<p>Its lower player averages would certainly support a decline before its first DLC is announced. However, it would seem we were wrong as not only has it stayed in the top ten, it&#8217;s risen by one position.<\/p>\n<p>It would seem that Elden Ring&#8217;s reign in the top five titles is set to continue.<\/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. Steam Deck<\/h3>\n<p>The Steam Deck maintains its second-place spot in the top ten from last week and once again proves to be a highly successful product.<\/p>\n<p>The portable gaming PC from Valve continues to sell well, and it&#8217;s more than likely it&#8217;ll at the very least retain its second-place spot next week.<\/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<h3 class=\"my-4\">1. V Rising<\/h3>\n<p>The number one highest revenue game for the week is once again V Rising.<\/p>\n<p>The vampire survival game has garnered much acclaim from gamers due to its high quality and gameplay loop.<\/p>\n<p>You take the role of a newly awoken vampire who must hunt for blood while rebuilding their empire.<\/p>\n<p>This involves PvE and PvP content in conjunction with base-building and resource gathering in an isometric, top-down perspective.<\/p>\n<p>V Rising will likely be in the top ten next week.<\/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\/C7KTI94LzI8\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/125226-ea-reveals-star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-sequel\">EA reveals Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sequel<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the top ten highest revenue games from last week on Steam. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":125235,"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":[85,21713],"class_list":["post-125234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","tag-steam","tag-top-ten"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125234","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=125234"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125234\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
