Look, let's be honest about the latest arrival. Launched domestically at 8:00 AM on the 4th, the Elden Ring: Ruler of the Night DLC, 'Abandoned Void', is currently sitting at a Mixed rating among players. While the conceptual flair and character additions are intriguing, the navigation in the new zones is a bit of a maze, and frankly, the overall polish feels a bit thin for what players expected from a DLC expansion.

The 'Abandoned Void' DLC adds two fresh faces to the Lands Between: a scholarly 'Researcher' wandering the realm and a 'Mortician' nun tasked with taking down the Night King. Players also get two new boss encounters and the mysterious 'Great Hollow' terrain to test their mettle. Along with these additions, the update brings the usual suite of bug fixes and performance tweaks.

Despite the influx of content, the reception remains Mixed, with only 47% of the 337 user reviews being positive. The common gripe is that while the new content is interesting, navigating the Great Hollow is an exercise in frustration. Many players are also voicing disappointment at the sheer lack of volume, suggesting that recycling assets from the previous 'Shadow of the Erdtree' expansion might have yielded a more substantial experience.

Meanwhile, Arc Raiders continues to hold its ground, ranking 3rd in global top-selling games, while EA Sports FC 26 takes the 4th spot following a 50% price cut. Helldivers 2, having addressed some optimization issues with a capacity-reducing update, sits at 5th, and Guild Wars: Reforged—now featuring a graphical remaster—clinches 8th place.

In terms of peak Concurrent Players on Steam, it's a tight race between Apex Legends, Yan-Un, Battlefield 6, and Delta Force. All four are hovering around the 160,000 Concurrent Players mark, making it a real battle to see who stays on top. Meanwhile, Elden Ring: Ruler of the Night saw a surge, hitting 93,512 Concurrent Players—its first time breaking 90,000 in a while—landing it in 15th place. As a result, Helldivers 2 has been bumped out of the top 20.
