Plus: Klonoa & Gwent Top a Slow-ish New Steam Week

The first full week of July 2022 on Steam was relatively quiet following the Summer Sale, with carryover titles like F1 22, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and DNF Duel still charting alongside a handful of modest new debuts.

• Subscription services significantly impacted console charts, with Arcadegeddon leading PlayStation downloads via PlayStation Plus and WIN Reality topping the Meta Quest store.
• New Steam releases saw modest engagement post-Summer Sale, led by Sword and Fairy Inn 2 with 7,000 concurrent users, while Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series and Gwent: Rogue Mage reached 750 and 1,200 concurrent users respectively.
• DLC content proved to be a strong revenue driver, as Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course performed well on both Xbox and Nintendo Switch, while Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak also dominated Switch third-party downloads.
