CHARTS: Monster Hunter Wilds Ranked as Third Highest Grossing Title on Steam Pre-orders Last Week

Last week, Monster Hunter Wilds pre-orders made quite a splash on Steam, securing the third spot among the top-performing titles. As excitement builds ahead of its February 28th launch, this new installment from Capcom is clearly generating significant buzz in the gaming community.

The anticipation is well-founded, especially considering the success of Monster Hunter World back in 2019, which positioned Capcom’s creation as the second-best performing title on PC at that time. Now, with the latest entry, fans are eager to see what fresh adventures await.

Meanwhile, Counter-Strike 2 climbed back to reclaim the top position, continuing its dominance, while Civilization 7 also rose, now at the second spot. Civilization 7 made its initial appearance in the charts on February 10th, debuting at third place despite having limited time to showcase its full potential. In other shifts, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 slipped to fourth position, though it boasts an impressive milestone of crossing two million sales. Apex Legends, benefiting from the release of a new season, surged 22 spots up to fifth place.

Other notable movements include Valve’s Steam Deck, PUBG: Battlegrounds, and Marvel Rivals, each dropping by one spot to settle in sixth, seventh, and eighth positions, respectively. Meanwhile, Obsidian’s fresh RPG offering, Avowed, made its entrance at ninth place. Warframe also re-entered the top ten, climbing two spots.

Here’s a glance at Steam’s Top Ten for the week ending February 18th:

1. Counter-Strike 2, Valve
