An hour after its release date announcement, Horizon: Zero Dawn is already Steam's top seller
- Thread starter Tiago Rodrigues
- Start date
Ah I thought I read of a lot of issues with the Windows store platform. Don't care about steam as a platform lol
Not surprising to see I suppose! Not terribly interested in Horizon, but I be day 0 on Spider-Man if they bring it over. ;D
Steam top sellers is calculated by revenue iirc. Not sure of the refresh time period
Top sellers is region specific, global top sellers is obviously global.
You should not look at top sellers via the main store page, as that will hide games you already own. Equally in both list pages, if you have a store exclusion set up for any tags, you may have filtered out some games from the list. There is an option at the top of the list to view the unfiltered list
Persona 4 knocked it off first for a few days. I think Shipbreakers might have done it too initially, didn't last too long if it did.
It doesn't necessarily mean high volume because list is revenue based.
It's why Index can leap to #1 of global top sellers in instant, even by moving relatively few units.
I really hope this convinces Sony to consider porting Housemarque's PS4 games, I'll gladly double dip.
It's revenue.
And what do you even try to argue? It's a 50 bucks game. Regardless if it is revenue or sales number, both would be a huge success.
Yup can see Sony publishing games on PC 2-3 years after it's console launch.
And then those people will pick up your console when the sequel hits im sure that's the plan.
Yeah, I know it's region-specific. 23 regions, if I remember it right (edit: 29 regions + global).
But we don't know the exact formula behind it. Anyone actually ever tried to make a rough estimate of how chart position relates to revenue?
Congrats to HZD, of course, but it might turn out we're congratulating it with reaching like 5000 sales.

the price is excellent.
And I got my discount from the Steam Summer Sale as well. Sweet.
I stopped playing and I was completely lost for the DLC. Perfect excuse to replay it on PC.
I'll contribute buying this and death Stranding when the price drops.
Folks, make sure to state in the steam reviews that you want BLOODBORNE ON PC NEXT. there will be plenty of game and PC performance analysis on other places. Just use the steam reviews to send the message loud and clear.
If there are say 5000 reviews stating NOW BRING BLOODBORNE TO PC I'm sure game sites will make news of that and get the ball rolling.

Jesus...Sea of Thieves has been glued to #1 for a while right?
This will be huge for Sony!
Microsoft and Sony conquering PC
I just don't think a lot of PC players are gonna take that bait. Most PC players I know don't have a problem waiting 2, 3, or even 4 years for a game and if there is no planned release then they just move on with the mentality that there's already plenty of games on PC. I don't think they're going to see a lot of people transitioning from PC to PS5 just because they put a few games on PC several years later in an attempt to lure people in for a sequel.
Wow, The Last Guardian and for that matter the Shadow of the Colossus remake would both MASSIVELY benefit from a PC release. Then at least fans could fix the aesthetic choices and visual issues the SOTC remake has.
Yeah this. It seems pretty clear Sony are doing the above and trying to push more PC gamers to PS5. Both next gen consoles are basically really affordable powerful gaming PCs, with some benefits above the average PC build (those SSD improvements). Unlike with the current gen I'd imagine if people are considering building a new PC for gaming or going console it's a much tougher decision to make, and looking forward to exclusive games might tip people to choose something else.
I think absurd regional pricing helped. I don't just mean "oh it's actually priced like other games"... I mean "I think somebody made a mistake when putting it up" good. We are talking less than 50% of acceptable AAA Pc game on steam in russia.
Why is PlayStation Mobile Inc the publisher? Though Sony has seemingly dialed back their mobile efforts pretty dramatically
I'd wager a lot of that market already have a PC and PS4. More an attempt to try and expand that audience
I believe that's just the account Sony uses on Steam for publishing. It doesn't mean anything.
The PlayStation Apps in the AppStore are from PlayStation Mobile Inc. they are indeed their mobile division. Having them publish PS4 games for PC makes some sense as they have experience dealing with non-PlayStation storefronts.
Most PC gamers don't game the same way console players do. Console players buy a console knowing they are going to purchase and play many games on it. People will buy/build a PC for just 1 game. Sure on Era PC gamers tend to have the same behaviour of console gamers but that is not the norm. Everyone I know who plays on PC is into 1 or 2 games. Sadly many console games don't have the kinda depth that a lot of popular PC games do.
I'm ok with that.
Though I do think someone from their mid-cycle refresh team will probably want to put the Kabosh on any early PS5 games being allowed the same, one, for all the magical SSD claims and two, they probably wont want to undercut their mid-cycle system by signaling to just get a PC and the game will be even better.
Hope I'm wrong though
If they keep doing that then they stop becoming system sellers, as people expect them to come to PC as standard a year or two down the line.
Hope the PC audience likes the game. It's a pretty interesting world they've got set up there. Of all games turning in franchises I really feel Horizon deserves it after what they've set up in the first game.
I think Dreams will be huge if it releases on PC. PC players love sandbox games.
I just woke up to an email from Steam about it.
First thing I did was turn on my computer to buy it
Really excited for this.

I am glad this is selling well on PC and I will buy it when it is released. I am also ok with the $50 price tag (or even full price), but if Sony is going to start porting more first party games over, then I really hope three years is not the norm. I hope for 6-12 months.
Would it be too much to hope for RTX features getting patched in later? That would be amazing. I would love to see this game with RTX GI and shadows.

Not sure what this has to do with what I'm saying. The people who play on PC for 1 or 2 games are usually there for the games that are exclusive to PC (i.e. WoW, LoL, etc.) and easy to run. I'm talking more about the enthusiast side of the PC gaming community who do the majority of their gaming on a PC. Dropping an old game in an attempt to lure them in for a proposed sequel doesn't seem likely. As I said, the people I know would be more than happy waiting or just passing it over altogether. It may convince a few to add a PS5 to their house, but I kind of doubt it does so to any significant degree in regards to people who own a PC but not a console.
