Forspoken failed to get into the weekly Steam chart it even lost to Hi-Fi RUSH

The role-playing game Forspoken showed a weak start on PC, failing to get into the top ten Steam bestsellers following the results of its launch week.

The novelty from Square Enix lost even Hi-Fi RUSH from Bethesda and Microsoft, which was released a day later and costs twice as much.

Recall that the weekly Steam bestseller chart is formed by sales revenue, which depends on the volume of copies sold and the cost of the product.

Accordingly, Forspoken, with its price tag of $70, had more chances to get into the chart than Hi-Fi RUSH, for which they ask only $ 30.

"The unexpectedly released Hi-Fi RUSH with a price tag of $ 30 beat Forspoken in the chart in terms of sales revenue.

A shocking result, considering that the first one appeared suddenly, and the second one has been advertised for a long time and costs twice as much," said Benji-Sales analyst.

The remake of Dead Space attracted a wide audience, occupying four out of ten lines in the weekly Steam chart. The Steam Deck portable PC continues to be in the first place.

Steam users also continue to actively pre—order Hogwarts Legacy - the game in the "Harry Potter" universe confidently holds the second place of the weekly chart.

Hi-Fi RUSH debuted from the eighth position.
