Benji-Sales, well-known on Twitter for gaming news and metrics, posted about the top-selling games on Steam last week (as of this article). The top four games on the list were various iterations of Hogwarts Legacy. This was followed by the Steam Deck, Project Zomboid, and the Dead Space Remake.
Benji-Sales explained that Steam separates pre-release and post-release orders of the games, hence why the regular version and the Digital Deluxe both had two entries. Even the week before, Hogwarts Legacy was already leading in Steam sales, a continuation of its sales dominance the weeks prior.
