Steam Remains Occupied by Vampires

Last week, the biggest Steam bestseller was once again V Rising. In addition, My Time at Sandrock, Sniper Elite 5 and Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix have made their debuts.

As every Monday a list of the biggest (by revenue) bestsellers of the past week has been released on Steam.

V Rising still undefeated

For the second time in a row V Rising turned out to be unrivaled. Maintaining this position is all the more impressive that this is a relatively cheap game.

V Rising quite unexpectedly turned out to be one of the biggest independent hits of this year. In the first week after release it sold more than one million copies. The game can also boast 88% positive reviews on Steam, which is categorized as "very positive" reception.
