CHARTS: RuneScape Dragonwilds Launches at Second Place on Steam

RuneScape: Dragonwilds has made quite a splash, securing the position as the second highest earner on Steam last week. Released on April 15th, this latest offering from Jagex has seen a notable peak of 52,641 players simultaneously enjoying the game, according to data from SteamDB. For Jagex, this fresh release is performing admirably well.

Once again, Counter-Strike 2 retained its throne as the top-grossing title on Steam for the week. Meanwhile, Schedule 1 slipped down to the third position, making way for RuneScape: Dragonwilds’ impressive debut. Holding steady, the Steam Deck claimed the fourth spot yet again.

The action RPG, Last Epoch, made a notable climb back into the Top Ten, securing the fifth position—a significant leap of 76 spots from the previous week—fueled by the release of its second season’s content. Meanwhile, the co-op horror adventure, REPO, maintained its ground in sixth place.

Marvel Rivals experienced a slight dip, moving down to seventh. However, Baldur’s Gate 3 from Larian nudged its way up by one spot, thanks in part to a continuing discount on Steam.

Despite some launch day technical glitches, the Command and Conquer spiritual successor, Tempest Rising, managed to make its debut in tenth place.

Here’s a breakdown of the Steam Top Ten for the week ending April 22nd:

1. Counter-Strike 2, Valve
2. RuneScape: Dragonwilds, Jagex
3. Schedule 1, TVGS
4. Steam Deck, Valve
5. Last Epoch, Eleventh Hour
6. REPO

This lineup highlights some dynamic movements and fresh entries, making the current gaming landscape especially intriguing.
