[rewrite this title]RimWorld’s New DLC Boosts It Back Into Steam’s Top Ten

Sure, here’s a reimagined version:

So, there I was, scrolling through Steam, probably looking for a distraction when—boom—RimWorld suddenly pops back up like an unexpected guest, right in the Steam Top Ten. Why? The new Odyssey DLC, of course. Honestly, it felt like the game just catapulted 58 spots upward to grab the No.3 position. Just a casual leap, thanks to a nifty 20% off deal. I mean, who doesn’t love a discount, right? Oh, and that Odyssey DLC? Apparently, it’s the fifth top-seller of the week. Not too shabby.

Meanwhile, Counter-Strike 2 is clinging to the top spot, like that one song you can’t get out of your head. And PUBG: Battlegrounds? It’s all the rage again, climbing to second place ‘cause of some epic crossover with Aespa, the K-pop group. Go figure.

The Steam Deck, dear ol’ hardware from Valve, took a slight tumble, dropping two places to fourth. It’s still ahead of Marvel Rivals from NetEase, though, which surged up 25 slots to nab sixth. Really lit a fire under that one, didn’t they?

Oh, and Peak? The indie darling? Slid down four slots to seventh, although with over 4.5 million units sold, it’s probably not sweating. Then there’s Destiny 2, sneaking back onto the list at No.8 after releasing The Edge of Fate expansion—I swear, I blinked and missed that update.

In ninth, we’ve got Naraka: Bladepoint, another entry from NetEase. And rounding things out is Dead by Daylight, which slipped three spots to land at ten.

I jotted down the Top Ten just because I’m a sucker for lists:

1. Counter-Strike 2, Valve
2. PUBG: Battlegrounds, Krafton
3. RimWorld, Ludeon Studios
4. Steam Deck, Valve
5. RimWorld – Odyssey, Ludeon Studios
6. Marvel Rivals, NetEase
7. Peak, Aggro Crab
8. Destiny 2, Bungie
9. Naraka: Bladepoint, NetEase
10. Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive

Some weeks, right?
