Weekly PC download charts: ‘SoulCalibur VI’, ‘FM 2019’, ‘Midnight Scenes’
The combined commercial power of Ancient Greek action adventure “Assassin’s Creed Odyssey”, fighting game “SoulCalibur”, soccer sim “Football Manager 2019” and in-development shooter “World War 3” — plus a discounted “Shadow of the Tomb Raider” in sixth — conspired to push enormous 2017 success “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” outside of the Steam chart top five.
Even if “SoulCalibur VI”, a classic franchise making its return after over 20 years on the market, were not present twice thanks to both standard and deluxe editions making it into the top five, a 34 percent-off sale on September hit “Shadow of the Tomb Raider” (sixth place) ensures the fate of “PUBG”.
Article continues after this advertisement“Football Manager 2019” is involved on the strength of pre-orders alone (those that pre-purchase it get immediate access to a Beta edition as well as lite version “FM19 Touch”) ahead of a Nov. 2 debut.
Elsewhere, modern retro shooter “Project Warlock” scales the GOG chart to end up in second, while extremely well-received murder mystery “Return of the Obra Dinn” looks even further back in home computing history for its distinctive look.
On Itch.io, low-budget horrors remain order of the day, with new release “Midnight Scenes: Ep.2” the favorite and its year-old predecessor not too far behind.
