Launch spikes fade; weekly charts settle arguments. The first full week's Steam top sellers ranking confirmed what launch day promised: Slay the Spire 2 finished #1 — out-selling Marathon, Resident Evil: Requiem, and the Steam Deck itself in a top ten stacked with heavyweights.

The chart's full shape told the story of a crowded release window: 1. Slay the Spire 2, 2. Marathon, 3. Resident Evil: Requiem, 4. Red Desert, 5. Steam Deck, 6. EA SPORTS FC 26, 7. ARC Raiders, 8. The Division 2, 9. Rust, 10. Balatro — new IP debuts, franchise returns, and Valve's own hardware all trailing the spire's second climb.

The distinction from the launch-day snapshot mattered. Day-one chart-topping measures hype; a full-week #1 measures sustained purchases — the difference between a queue and a fanbase. The spire had both, with the week's concurrency records and review counts filling in the third leg of the trifecta: players, revenue, sentiment.

The following weeks' data kept the run alive — 3 million sales in week one, then a 5.3 million first-month estimate from third-party analysts. The chart, in other words, wasn't the peak. It was the baseline.
