Battle royale behemoth PUBG: Battlegrounds made more money than any other game on Steam last week.
The title returned to the Top Ten and shot to the No.1 spot off the back of the Black Market opening, allowing players to buy items that they have been coveting. PUBG: Battlegrounds has made regular appearances in the Steam charts since its 2017 release but it's been a while since the title was the biggest-seller on the platform; even after six years, the battle royale hit still has legs.
In taking the No.1 spot, PUBG has dethroned Valve's Counter-Strike 2, which drops down to third place for the first time since its release. Call of Duty hangs steady in second place following the release of Modern Warfare 3, while Steam Deck returns to the charts after Valve revealed a brand new OLED edition of its hardware.
Risk of Rain Returns – the remastered version of the 2013 original – makes its debut in fifth place following a November 8th release date. The indie hit comes ahead of Apex Legends, which hangs steady in sixth place, while Baldur's Gate 3 rises one place to No.7 week-on-week.
Early Access sci-fi co-op horror title Lethal Company makes its debut in the Steam charts at eighth, one place ahead of EA Sports FC 24, which drops two rungs down the ladder to No.9. Rounding off the Top Ten is military sim title War Thunder, which was fourth last week.
Here is the Steam Top Ten for the week ending November 14th:
1. PUBG: Battlegrounds, Krafton
2. Call of Duty, Activision
3. Counter-Strike 2, Valve
4. Steam Deck, Valve
5. Risk of Rain Returns, Gearbox Publishing
6. Apex Legends, EA
7. Baldur's Gate 3, Larian Studios
8. Lethal Company, Zeekerss
9. EA Sports FC 24, EA
10. War Thunder, Gaijin Entertainment

Call of Duty's DMZ mode launched as part of Warzone 2.0 and, at the time, felt like it could be the next big multiplayer thing. Shows what I know, but the mode was essentially a fast-paced and slicker take on some key Tarkov mechanics, and the PvEvP rhythm was a welcome change in pace for the oft-relentless Warzone.

With the holiday season now in full swing, there's a pretty nice freebie available on the Epic Games Store: Deliver Us Mars. The sci-fi adventure game is a direct sequel to 2018's Deliver Us the Moon, taking place around ten years after the events that unfolded in the original game. Humans are closer than ever to extinction on Earth, and only a daring mission to the Red Planet to recover the ARK colony ships can change the fate of humankind.

As EVE Online was headed towards downtime last week in anticipation of its next expansion, Havoc , a player named Jay Amazingness, decided to wreak a little havoc of his own. Ahead of downtime, the longtime Goonswarm player decided to strike at the very heart of the alliance he has spent his EVE career within, pulling the clone bay from two structures in 1DQ and stealing pretty much anything that wasn’t nailed down — from cold, hard ISK to ships, including multiple Titans.
It’s (American) Thanksgiving this week, which means you might watch a lot of TV, but it might not be strictly new releases. But that doesn’t mean television stops; amid all the Mystery Science Theater 3000 marathons and parade fare there’s plenty of new offerings to catch up on.

Or maybe you’re looking to keep the autumnal season alive with a classic like Over the Garden Wallor a gone-too-soon hit like Marianne.
