“War… War always stays the same.”

Fallout is on everyone’s lips again since the series on Amazon Prime has generated a positive response across the board. So it’s no wonder that the success is also transferred to the games. The all-time favorite Rimworld is also causing a stir on Steam thanks to the new expansion Anomaly.

Disclaimer: We list the following below ten top-grossing games on Steam last week and address relevant developments. The basic information is based on data from SteamDB and are read directly from Steam.

Quickly to the highlights:

Fallout 4 and Fallout 76

Only 9th place for Fallout 4 and 12th place for Fallout 76: We still dare to predict that the two games can still improve in the current week in terms of placement in the highest-grossing Steam games. Reminder: This article only applies to sales achieved in the previous week.

At least they’re going active player numbers currently completely through the roof. The MMO-like Fallout 76 broke its all-time record on Steam over the weekend, which is now just under 40,000. Fallout 4 even reached almost 84,000 active players at the same time.

Another reason for strong sales figures: Both games are currently heavily discounted on Steam. Fallout 4 currently costs five dollars on Steam, Fallout 76 costs 8 dollars.

And Fallout 5? If you’re already waiting impatiently, you might be interested in this article:

Rimworld retest – The strategy game gets better with every year!

Rimworld returns, and returns for real: Thanks to the new horror expansion Anomaly and a slight discount for the main game, the colony-building survival simulation reaches places 5 and 6.

In addition, developer Ludeon Studios broke its own player record: at the weekend there were 62,000 active players at the same time. Indie game with minimalist graphics or not, these are serious numbers!
