Windrose Surges Past Pragmata in Steam Week Review

Top Five Steam Games Right Now by Revenue

Windrose, the early access pirate-survival game released on April 14, has quickly become a standout title on Steam. Currently, it ranks as the second best selling game by revenue, trailing only behind Counter-Strike 2. In just six days, Windrose sold a million copies and attracted over 220,000 concurrent players, demonstrating a strong demand for pirate-themed games among PC players.

For context, Windrose's concurrent player count surpasses that of Marathon, which peaked at 88,337. This surge in popularity suggests that gamers are more eager for a solid pirate experience than for Capcom's much-hyped sci-fi shooter, Pragmata, which also launched this week on PS5 and Xbox. While Pragmata aimed to dominate the week with its high profile, it seems the pirate theme has struck a chord with the audience.
