Why so many Dying Light 2's in the top 10?
Such a shape of the list comes from the specificity of Steam. What the service classifies as independent items are not only special editions of a given game (in this case, Deluxe and Ultimate), but also each purchase option of the base version (e.g. due to regional restrictions). As a result, the list was dominated by Dying Light 2.
