Valheim tops Steam charts for 6th week in a row

Each week, Valve releases its Steam weekly sales charts, giving insight into which titles are performing well on its platform and which are not. Since its launch on the 2nd of February, Valheim has steamrolled the charts, maintaining its position at the top for 6 weeks in a row.

For the week ending on the 14th of March, Steam’s top 10 sellers, as ranked by revenue includes:

  1. Valheim
  2. Forza Horizon 4
  3. Loop Hero
  4. Valve Index VR Kit
  5. Forza Horizon 4 (Deluxe/Ultimate Edition)
  6. Tale of Immortal
  7. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive – Operation Broken Fang
  8. Middle-earth: Shadow of War Definitive Edition
  9. Stronghold: Warlords
  10. Metro Exodus – Gold Edition

Of course, the real winner for this past week continued to be Valheim. Since its launch on the 2nd of February, the vikings-themed survival title has maintained its position at the top, with this being the 6th week to do so. This is even more impressive when considering the fact that these charts are ranked by revenue, and Valheim sells for just £15.49.

Most recent sales figures put the game at 5 million copies sold, but with its current trajectory being maintained, it wouldn't be surprising to hear the game having sold a further million any day now. It will be interesting to see just how many weeks Valheim can remain at the top spot, and what game will eventually overtake it.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
