“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” claimed two separate spots in the top 10 lineup of this week’s Steam chart, which tracks PC sales revenue. The title accomplished this feat while also having spent 48 consecutive weeks on the chart.
“Modern Warfare 2,” Activision’s $70 release from October 2022, has the fourth spot in the top 10 list, making it the second-most revenue-rich paid game on Steam this week. It’s been on Steam’s chart for a while thanks to its continuous staying power, but a sudden climb to spot No. 4 either signifies a slow week, relatively speaking, for Steam revenue in general or a serious post-launch bump thanks to a recent release of a battle pass — an add-on purchase that unlocks game bonuses such as cosmetics and in-game currencies.
