Sony has 4 skus in Steam's top 10. Make of it what you will but it is sending a message.

Sony is quickly becoming one of the more pre-eminent PC publishers. In the United States they have 4 games ranked in the top 10 and 4 in the top 15 globally.

They have 4 of the top 10 current best sellers.
  • Helldivers 2 (1st/1st)
  • Destiny 2 (5th/9th)
  • Ghost of Tsushima Directors Cut (pre-order) (7th/11th)
  • Helldivers 2 - Super Citizen Edition (8th/15th)

Quite a good performance considering the narrative from many that they should give up PC support or that there isn't
demand for their games on PC.

This looks good until you realize that the AAA market on PC is a joke. HZD was a top seller as well and only sold 500k on PC its first year. Starfield was one of the best selling games on Steam last year and it was a huge flop. Steam Deck is constantly a top 3 seller on Steam and it hasn't even sold 3 mill units in totality in over 2 years.

Great for the transparency and optics. What's underneath really does count not just "oh this game is number 1 or 2" and you have a point although we know Helldivers on PC is going to sell millions and obliterate that argument if not on its own. Just saying.

No, helldivers is $40 and it's sold on key sites for $30....It's also an always online game. So no idea how that is "obliterating any argument"? The argument is about full priced single player games, they all flop, that's a fact! Especially at full price, PC bums wait for games to go on deep discount before buying it, Helldivers is just further proof that they won't buy $60/$70 games but will bite on a $30 game.

LOL boy you'll move things around to suit an argument. I hear you Bro your always right anyway lol smh. This topic has nothing to do for me whether a game is AAA, 40/60, etc just that Sony has four games exclusive to that console that are on Steams top selling. Then you mentioned that Sony games on PC don't sell well and we know majority hvnt but thyve had a few tht sold decent. Helldivers will obliterate that notion tht games exclusive to Sony (idc if they first party or 3rd) don't sell well there because Helldivers will sell a ton! Simple.

Yep, and Helldivers 2 still at top 1 since before release.

Last fiscal year Sony was top 20 publisher in Steam, I assume this current one they'll have climbed considerably there.

And next fiscal year, having Helldivers 2 and Concord will go even higher.

Sony is killing it on PC, they are quickly becoming one of the top performing publishers there. Soon will be earning there over a billion per year there instead of hundreds of millions.

Palworld died?
No, stays top 20 in the top sellers ranking, and top 9 in the most played ones.

But once the meme is gone, with 90K CCUs (plus continue slowly declining) instead of the 2M it had on its first week.

So it's now performing great, as a normal very successful game. Not as a huge top tier Steam historical hit as were in its first week.

Nice way to promote a fake narrative.
Still breaking 150-200k daily. Palworld does not and will not have the same engagement as Helldivers.

I never said that, I always said Helldivers 2 has a way better user retention than Palworld even if it had a way smaller launch days CCU peak.

I'm going to echo the sentiment that this doesn't mean much, unfortunately, because it's clear the PC market is so small. We got detailed stats from the UK and PC can barely muster a 1/10th share of major multiplatform releases. There are a few genres that work but it's not an ecosystem where everything thrives like consoles.

You used current ccu vs peak daily in order to frame a bs narrative. At least be honest.

Helldivers has way better retention that most games. Palword exhausted its run with the amount of content it has. Different game type. The idea that it failed is bogus

I wouldn't include Destiny at all in this list. It means nothing about Sony.

And 2 Skus of Helldivers? Lol

These stats are meaningless

Stop lying. I even posted the receipts that prove these facts.

On top of that, on its lowest hours Palworld goes way under the current 84.9K CCU. Today and yesterday went down to 64K and yesterday 68K and continues declining.
