Steam’s weekly top-selling games, as measured by total revenue, have been shared for the week ending on April 11.OutridersandIt Takes Twofinished in first and second place for the second week running, meanwhile three different Xbox Game Studios releases surged onto the list as part of a massive publisher sale, and 2021’s biggest hitValheimfell to its lowest positionyet.
The number one position for this week is once again the Square Enix-published looter-shooterOutriders. Despite a rocky launch due to some server issues,Outridershas proven to be the latest viral hit on the PC platform. Even more than a week after launch,Outridersis seeing almost 100,000 concurrent Steam players day-to-day. That said,Outridershas fallen in viewers on Twitch, Steam reviews continue to be mixed due to ongoing issues, and concurrent players don’t appear to be climbing. As a resultOutriderscould fall from its top placement soon, but only time will tell.

JustbehindOutriderson Steam’s top 10 isIt Takes Two, now in its third week included on the list. LikeOutriders, though at much lesser scale,It Takes Twohas maintained a consistent level of popularity since it launched in late March. Its first week of availability saw total concurrent players climb from just a few thousand to nearly 20,000, and since then it has balanced around 20,000 nearly every day. UnlikeOutriders,It Takes Twohas an overwhelmingly positive review average, perhaps helping the game’s longevity in the top-selling list.
The next most impressive additions to the list this weeks are three Xbox Game Studios titles. Third on the list isForza Horizon 4, fourth isSea of Thieves, and sixth isHalo: The Master Chief Collection. All three are discounted on Steam as of this writing, withForza Horizon 4climbing the highest in revenue due to it being the most recent release with a higher initial price.
Rounding out the list isHorizon: Zero Dawnin fifth position due in part to its continued 40 percent-off discount,Valheimhaving dropped from fourth to seventh place, theValve Index VR Kitat eighth, andThe Binding of Isaac: Repentanceat tenth. In ninth place isEuro Truck Simulator 2’s latest DLC, Iberia, showing just how much of a powerhouse the unique game remains over eight years after its release.
Next week’s Steam top-sellers list is going to be interesting to see. That’s not because any major games are going to be released on PC, but rather to see ifOutridersandIt Takes Twocan maintain their sales consistency. Otherwise,Steam discountsmay be the defining factor in next week’s top games.
Outridersis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
It Takes Twois available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
