Steam has just unveiled the week’s top earners and most successful games and devices, highlighting where players in Canada and the United States spent their cash on the platform. The big winner remains the portable Steam Deck, which keeps leading the charts and shaping how people game on the go. New entries jumped into the list all at once, including a remake of Final Fantasy 7, the action hit Chivalry 2, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, and the strategy title Starship Troopers: Terran Command. Each title found its footing at different spots on the chart, underscoring Steam’s diverse catalog and the seasonal pull of discounts and bundles.
The yearly cadence of performance on Steam Deck speaks to a broader trend: handheld PCs are increasingly central to how many players access their libraries. The year’s discount period also stirs shifts in the ranking, letting evergreen titles climb again or seeing smaller titles break into the limelight. In this week’s snapshot, Elden Ring slipped a few places, while V Rising also moved down the ladder, illustrating how competitive dynamics shift as new sales and promotions run. Monster Hunter Rise, buoyed by a fresh price cut, managed to reassert itself near the top, showing how value and freshness drive attention in the PC market. The overall picture reveals a vibrant ecosystem where both big-budget remasters and niche experiences coexist and compete for time and dollars on Steam.

The week’s list also nods to ongoing updates in the Steam ecosystem. Reports indicate that Halo Infinite can now be enjoyed on Steam Deck via Windows compatibility, expanding the deck’s library with more first-person shooters and live-service titles. The timing of the Big Summer Sale on Steam was highlighted, with Valve curating the strongest offers across genres to entice players—an important reminder of how discounts influence buying behavior in North American markets. Beyond sales, a competitive edge in hardware development is evident: a new Steam Deck rival, powered by AMD’s Ryzen processors, is set to stimulate further competition in handheld gaming devices and potentially reshape how Canadians and Americans approach handheld PC gaming.
The gaming landscape continues to evolve as developers respond to Steam’s audience. Free-to-play and freemium titles often surface alongside major releases, illustrating Steam’s role as a dynamic hub for PC gaming. This week’s coverage captures how players balance blockbuster campaigns with indie gems, how discounts extend reach, and how hardware innovations expand what’s possible on PC in portable form. The takeaway is clear: Steam remains a central conduit for PC gaming culture in North America, delivering a lively mix of remakes, new chapters, and strategic experiences that keep players engaged year-round.
