Steam, the world’s largest PC gaming platform, has revealed its ranking of the week’s most popular games based on data through February 13. The ranking is based on sales turnover for a week.
As expected, this week’s headliner was “Helldivers 2.” And the topic is hotter than expected. He has conquered the global charts every week since release. Considering that it was a “sold out” event with special discounts, the results exceeded expectations.
Helldivers 2 is a cooperative shooter action game that follows the previous game, released in 2015, 9 years later. This series has gained popularity due to its unique worldview and sensitivity in spreading liberal democracy while fighting against alien forces. It is also famous for being a fun friendship destruction game where allied team kills are scarier than monsters.

Even in Korea, where the previous work had relatively little reputation, it is doing well, ranking 3rd. There were concerns about the switch from top-down to third-person shooting, but the more advanced graphics didn’t necessarily double the sense of immersion. It’s also worth seeing the best reviews that reflect the concept of the game, such as “The democracy you ordered has been delivered” and “If you can’t talk, let’s check if you’re running out of bullets.”
Since the 14th, the number of daily concurrent users of Hell Divers has exceeded 200,000. It is showing rapid growth and has emerged as a game worth paying attention to next week. Since the previous work was loved for a long time as a cooperative multiplayer game, a long run is expected in the future.
“Pal World” gradually fell due to content volume limitations, losing the top spot in Korea to “Battleground”. The overall region ranks 4th. However, there are still 600,000 concurrent users and the sales volume has reached extraordinary results, so it is not a trend to be disparaged. Future update intervals are critical.
Duel between Yu-Gi-Oh masters
“Tekken 8” and “Lethal Company” are maintaining steady momentum. A rapid decline of Tekken 8 has been observed in the West, but it is stable in Japan and also shows a unique phenomenon, ranking first in Korea. Lethal Company is also a Korean trend that came a little late and remains the longest-running.
Also notable is the progress of “Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel,” which had a weak presence for a while. The main reason is the special set sold for a limited time to commemorate the 2nd anniversary on the 7th. Duelists continued to purchase it as it boasted excellent performance in both efficiency and graphics.
The game to watch next week is “Apex Legends.” The breakout update was rolled out on the 14th and numerous changes have occurred due to the large-scale patch contents. It has already established itself at the top of global popularity in real time.
The resurgence of multiplayer shooting competitions in the global market is a new attraction. With the advent of Helldivers 2, Apex Legends entered the competition, and Cass 2 and Battlegrounds also began to pick up. Even ‘Overwatch 2’, which has been in crisis for a long time, is becoming a hot topic with this update, so it is necessary to watch the fight for the shooter.
