The Steam global sales ranking for the week of August 8, 2026, shows a mix of live-service staples and breakout indies. 'Big Walk', the co-op open-world puzzle adventure from House House, the studio behind 'Untitled Goose Game', entered at number three. The game launched on August 4 for PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and App Store, and has drawn attention for its proximity-based voice chat, which makes communication fade with distance, leading players to get lost on a handcrafted island. It holds an approximately 87 percent positive rating on Steam and peaked at over 46,000 concurrent players. The Verge compared its exploration to 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild', while The Guardian praised the experience of wandering with friends. Also in the top ten, 'IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator' reached seventh place, a dieselpunk simulator about operating a 5,000-ton turret, with about 94 percent positive reviews. 'MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls' ranked eighth but holds only about 46 percent positive Steam reviews, despite a stronger PS5 reception. Other notable entries within the top 100 include 'GRAIN ROT' at 28th and 'Sovereign Tower' at 53rd.
The weekly Steam sales ranking, based on real-time revenue data as of August 8, 2026, at 4:20 p.m., places 'Apex Legends' and 'Counter-Strike 2' at the top, with 'Big Walk' following at third. The House House title supports two to twelve players and uses proximity-based voice chat, transceivers, megaphones, and binoculars as gameplay tools. Developer Panic has acknowledged complaints that voice chat volume is too low and is working on a fix.
'IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator' is set in a fictional late-1920s Spain, where players calculate firing solutions from maps and coordinates while operating hydraulic systems and massive handwheels. Kotaku praised the tactile feel of layered operations, and Rock Paper Shotgun highlighted the novelty of controlling the turret from within. 'MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls', developed by Arc System Works, features 4-on-4 tag battles with 20 characters at launch and lobbies for up to 64 players, but its Steam version suffers from optimization criticism despite a 4.49 out of 5 rating on PS5.
