Cyberpunk 2077 ranks second in Steam's paid games chart

Cyberpunk 2077 is back near the top of Steam’s paid games chart. According to DTF, the CD Projekt RED title sits in second place, with Mistfall Hunter holding the lead. For a game that launched several years ago, that is a notable placement — the upper part of the paid chart is usually occupied by fresh releases.

At the same time, two Spider-Man games made the top 10. The reason is the launch of “A New Day”: a new entry pulls attention back to the whole series, and players return to the earlier titles. That pattern — a premiere lifting sales of previous games in a franchise — is a familiar one on Steam.

How to read the chart

Steam’s paid chart is based on revenue rather than unit sales, so positions depend on pricing, promotions and bursts of interest as much as on raw popularity. A title can climb thanks to a large number of cheap purchases or thanks to buyers picking up more expensive editions. That is one reason older games like Cyberpunk 2077 periodically resurface high in the list: by now they have a full range of editions, add-ons and bundles available.

Mistfall Hunter’s first place fits the usual shape of a new release, which typically sees a short revenue spike at launch. Cyberpunk 2077 holding second place says something different — that demand for it is steady, driven by word of mouth, streams and recommendations rather than a single launch moment.

The Spider-Man entries follow the same logic in reverse: newcomers who arrive with “A New Day” often start from the earlier games, and the chart reflects it.

What it means if you plan to buy

A high chart position does not automatically mean a discount, but it usually coincides with more attention to the title: sellers list more offers, and more editions and platform variants show up. If Cyberpunk 2077 has been sitting on your wishlist, this is a convenient moment to compare options — Bazelio lists Cyberpunk 2077 with a choice of Steam editions, and the current price and availability are shown on the product page.

Decide on the format first. A key or a full account makes sense if you want online play and the game permanently in your own library; a shared or rented account is enough if you only plan a single story playthrough. Also check whether the expansion is included in the edition you pick — that affects both price and content.

If you are building a library across several games at once, it is worth browsing the game accounts and services section, where offers from different sellers are gathered. Delivery terms vary by seller and are stated on the partner platform where the purchase is completed.
