1 milions copies sold?

[Purromi]

poe now is on the "top selling" games. Being on higher position than stalker which we know sold 1 milion copies+.. So.. POE 2 already sold 1 milion copies?

so how "top selling games" works? It's weekly? daily? if weekly that mean minimum 500k copies? or im wrong?

pls don't make emotional, silly answers. lets stay mature and with technical talk. I want to know based on how "top selling" games works. How much potential copies was sold.

It's not 1 million sold copies on steam, its sold copies in total.

Meaning on other platforms too. The game is sold on GoG and Epic games too, and ofc the microsoft store.
and not to mention physical copies too.

So it's POE 2. Not on Gog but on Epic games and their own site.

oh you are right. so there's no way to count how many copies was sold for now and we need to wait for official informations.

And that's generally too difficult to tell unless those sources have given that information themselves willingly, which not all parties do that at times.
Again though, not really sure why this matters all that much.

It will be on launch. For now you need to pay for early access to the beta.

Yeah.
also top seller is not how many copies are sold, but how much revenue it made.
So top seller becomes even more "useless" at counting sales.

if 2 people bought the 100 USD version of PoE2 (200 USD) it will be higher on the "top seller" than 3 people who bought the base version of stalker 2 for 60 USD (180 USD)

Not sure if it isn't the amount of copies sold ratio per day, not the price.

it is revenue.
how you think free games like CS2 and Dota 2 are in top sellers all the time? why you think steam deck is also almost always in top sellers.

Thanks for the clarification. Too lazy to do my own research at this hour.

Also on 7 in the weekly top sellers.

Q: How do the real-time top sellers chart work?

A: For each game, we roll up all the player spending from the trailing 24 hours, and then add extra weight to spending in the last 3 hours. That extra weighting of the most recent spending helps Steam to more quickly reflect changes, like a popular new release or a game trending upward.

Not necessary bu it can be there soon: Stalker got to 1M in a week.

In any case, servers are going to be on fire for days so you better don't take day-off o play during the first week :lunar2019madpig:

i.. i already do that. 3 days off :lunar2019piginablanket: but i guess you are right. And if it solds 1 milions... i guess there are no servers on world to be ready for that.

wrong Diablo had 6m active players at the same time...without any queue or server crash! All is possible you need just know-how and money!

F2P game outsold newer big AAA titles. Guess gamers prefer fun games catering to them
