Circana video game industry advisor Mat Piscatella has released the weekly most-played rankings by player engagement for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) for the week ending August 10, 2024. Compared to the prior week, the lists saw only minor position shifts, with one notable new entry breaking into the top ten.

Console Highlights

On PlayStation 5, Apex Legends made the biggest move, jumping from 15th to 10th following the launch of Season 22 on August 6. It was the only new top-ten entrant across all platforms. EA Sports College Football 25 held steady at #3 on PS5 and slipped one spot to #6 on Xbox Series X|S. The First Descendant also remained on both console lists, moving from 8th to 9th on PS5 and holding at #10 on Xbox. The rest of the console top tens only shuffled slightly compared to the previous week.

Steam Rankings

On Steam, Counter-Strike 2 remained at #1. Helldivers 2 climbed from 4th to 2nd, pushing Elden Ring down from 2nd to 3rd. Once Human dropped from 3rd to 5th, while Baldur's Gate 3 rose from 9th to 6th. These shifts reflect continued engagement with established multiplayer titles and enduring single-player hits.

Upcoming Releases to Watch

The rankings could see significant changes in the coming weeks due to several major releases. Black Myth: Wukong and Star Wars Outlaws are both scheduled for August 20, while Astro Bot launches on September 6. Each of these titles has the potential to debut in the top ten most-played lists across consoles and PC.

What is Valorant and Valorant Points?

Valorant Points (VP) are the premium in-game currency used to unlock exclusive cosmetic items like weapon skins and the Battle Pass.

To acquire VP, players must perform a Valorant points buy through official channels or third-party platforms such as OffGamers, CODASHOP, and LootBar for competitive pricing.

Top-ups on these trading sites often provide faster delivery and bonus deals, making them the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers.

Why do you choose LootBar to buy Valorant Points?

If players want to top up Valorant Points, they may want to consider the lootbar game trading platform. One of its most compelling draws is the consistently below-market pricing, which makes every purchase—whether a small boost or a major stockpile—noticeably lighter on the wallet. On the security front, LootBar employs state-of-the-art encryption and strict privacy measures, guaranteeing that each transaction remains confidential and fully compliant with game policies.

Beyond value and protection, LootBar excels at speed, routinely delivering topped-up Valorant Points to your account within a brisk three-minute window so you can rejoin matches without tedious waits. Round-the-clock customer assistance ensures that any question or rare snag is met with prompt, knowledgeable support, turning a simple top up Valorant into a worry-free experience that lets you focus entirely on your gameplay.

How to top Valorant on LootBar Step-by-Step Guide

To begin a Valorant top up on LootBar, first navigate to the official LootBar website and adjust your language and currency preferences to ensure a smooth transaction.

You will then be prompted to enter your Riot account credentials—specifically your username and password—to securely link your account for the purchase. After linking, choose the precise amount of Valorant Points you need, then click the “Top-up Now” button to proceed.

When you reach the payment stage, select your preferred method from the available options—such as credit card, e-wallet, or other local services—and confirm the payment by clicking “Pay Now.” Once the Valorant top up is successfully processed, your VP will be credited to your account within minutes, allowing you to immediately access new skins, battle passes, and other in-game items.
