Valve continues to track the financial success of various projects in the Steam store.<\/p>\n

Valve traditionally summarizes the financial results of the past week on Steam. The statistics cover the period from August 11 to August 18, 2026.<\/p>\n

This month, pre-orders for the Chinese wuxia action-adventure Phantom Blade Zero opened; Apex Legends remains popular \u2014 the Marked season (or “Znamenie” in Russian localization) has started in the game, and a Helldivers 2 collaboration with the Warhammer 40,000 franchise has also launched.<\/p>\n

Phantom Blade Zero is among the top ten most desired games on Steam (by wishlist count), and many players rushed to pre-order \u2014 the game took third place in the overall chart. Free-to-play Counter-Strike 2 and Apex Legends prevented it from becoming the leader.<\/p>\n
