You don’t need a crystal ball to predict that “Starfield” may end up being the best-selling game of 2023. As evidenced by Steam’s weekly PC revenue chart, the upcoming Bethesda title is already in the top 10 best sellers list at slot No. 9, and it’s made it there purely through the power of preorders. The game doesn’t officially release until Sept. 6.
The whole week is full of surprises for U.S. revenue rankings, so long as we ignore free-to-play title “Counterstrike: Global Offensive” staying in No. 1 for the zillionth week straight. Importantly, “Street Fighter 6” claimed spot No. 2 on the list, otherwise known as first place for a paid game.
