This week, the scenario of the best-selling games in Steam The week brought some surprises. One notable change was the fall of the Call of Duty from the top of the list. This change may be partially linked to the recent controversy surrounding the duration of the CoD: Modern Warfare III.

The joke did not go down well with the game’s developers, who expressed displeasure on social media, highlighting the popularity of the FPS in comparison to the God of War game. This incident may have influenced players’ perception, also affecting sales.
Baldur’s Gate 3a title that is at the top, reached an impressive milestone by being named the Jogo do Ano no The Game Awards 2023. This RPG from Larian Studios stood out in a year full of high-caliber releases, surpassing competitors like Alan Wake 2 e The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom.
