CHARTS: “Doom The Dark Ages” Launches at No.2 on Steam

Oh man, so there’s this new Doom game, right? The Dark Ages. And it’s doing kinda awesome on Steam, snagging the second spot. Just last week, it was like the big deal everyone couldn’t stop talking about. Must have missed the first spot by a hair—thanks, Counter-Strike 2. Unreal how these games keep duking it out for the top, isn’t it?

Then there’s this crazy PUBG thing going on in Shanghai. Global Series 8 must’ve been something, ’cause PUBG rocketed up 14 places to third! Wild. Speaking of which, somehow Steam Deck is chillin’ in fourth place again. How does it even stay up there? Maybe people love it, or it’s just a thing that happens. Pre-orders for Stellar Blade are doing their own dance—coming out in 2025? Dude, patience!

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, what happened to it? Slipped three places. Annoying really if you were rooting for it. But this other RPG is having the time of its life, climbing 58 spots, just like that. Thank you, 60% Steam discount! Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 just dashed up 37 positions. Probably people like new stuff too much. Oh, and Level 5’s, what’s it called, Fantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time—pre-orders are out, and everyone’s getting all excited for its May 21st release.

And sneaking in at number ten is The Precinct. Didn’t even see it creeping up there. Surprise!
