Steam sales rankings in Japan show consistent dominance by Electronic Arts’ ‘Apex Legends’, which held the top position for at least 15 consecutive days by mid-August.

Earlier in August, Konami Digital Entertainment’s ‘Yu‑Gi‑Oh! Master Duel’ reached the #2 spot following 100 million cumulative downloads and a related in-game campaign. Other notable movements included ‘Super Robot Wars Y’ and ‘Seven Deadly Sins: Origin’ climbing the charts.

By mid-August, sales surges were observed for other titles, including ‘hololive Dreams’, which rose to 2nd place due to a summer event, and ‘Nioh 3’, which jumped 84 places following a DLC release. ‘Mortal Shell II’ also entered the top 10 during its advance access period.
