Valheim Tops This Week's Best Selling Games List Again on Steam

Last week, Valheim managed to record a history where they managed to top the list of best-selling games on Steam in a row. This achievement is even sweeter considering that only a handful of AAA games can achieve it.

Furthermore, Valheim’s popularity in recent days has indeed increased significantly.

Valheim Becomes the Best Selling Game on Steam this Week

On March 28, 2021, Valheim again topped the list as one of the most popular games on Steam. For eight weeks in a row, Valheim has dominated the top spot on Gaben’s platform. Interestingly, the achievements of Valheim are quite sweet considering that there is rarely a game that can establish themselves in the top position for weeks.

Furthermore, Valheim is currently still limited to Early Access and has not fully released the existing content. Even so, the game itself has sold over 6 million copies on Steam. Of course, the achievements of the game cannot be separated from the developer who combines various elements from his predecessor games.

According to existing data, Valheim still occupies the position as the best-selling game on Steam. Then, there is Subverse, an adult game that is in second place. For the third position onwards held by Valve Index VR Kit, Half-Life: Alyx, Outriders, Grand Theft Auto V, and It’s Take Two.

Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2077, a game made by CD Projekt Red is in tenth position on this list. Of course, the inclusion of Cyberpunk 2077 is not surprising considering the PC version of this game is quite good compared to the console.

Speaking with PC Gamer, Iron Gate Studios co-founder Henrik Törnqvist revealed some information about Valheim. At that time, PC Gamer asked Henrik about his inspiration in developing Valheim (consisting of 5 people).

According to Henrik, Skyrim and The Legend of Zelda are games that inspired the development of Valheim. In addition to these two games, there are several other survival games that also had an influence on the creation of Valheim.

We want players to have a better gaming experience. Therefore, adventure games like Zelda and Skyrim provide a lot of inspiration. You can find lots of new equipment when you beat bosses. We think, this game can give you a sense of nostalgia through Valheim.
Says Henrik to PC Gamers

Valheim is a very complex survival game, says Iron Gate CEO Richard Svensson. According to him, Valheim is an open-world simulation game that has many features and changes some aspects of Zelda and Skyrim.
