Weekly PC Download Charts: ‘Vermintide 2,’ ‘Final Fantasy XV & More!

Building on the achievements of 2015’s intense ratman-eradicating journey “Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide” — itself received as a commendable riff on the 10-year-old genre-defining title “Left 4 Dead” and a 2009 sequel — “Vermintide 2” released on March 8.

A score of good reviews praises the young franchise’s second entry with its expanded range of abilities, environments, enemies and loot hauls.

While “Vermintide 2” was first on PC, with console editions to follow for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, “Final Fantasy XV” was an example of the inverse, where a collected Windows Edition arrived over a year after its console forebear.

Nevertheless, it has been received with enthusiasm both critically and commercially too, as evidenced by placings not far behind the successor of “Vermintide” on the Steam and Humble charts.

By Sunday, March 11, 2018, “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” had been top of Steam’s revenue-based bestseller chart for 50 weeks in a row.
