After several weeks in the first place, the world of video games meets another new viral, Phampophobia, a success on the computer.
Phasmophobia is the new best-selling game on Steam in the last seven days. The cooperative horror title from Kinetic Games for up to four players, with voice recognition and virtual reality compatibility, is a global trend both in sales and on streaming portals; to the point of having displaced the first position in the Valve store, which had been attached to the top for several weeks: Among Us.
As we see in the filter itself of the best-selling games around the world through Steam in the last week, the growth of Phasmophobia, driven by the broadcasts of hundreds of content creators with – sometimes – millions of followers, has catapulted to the work to the first place only one month after its launch, on September 18.
Everything seemed to point out that the farewell to Among Us as the best-selling game on Steam was going to be due to the launch of one of the big AAA that are just around the corner in the months of October and November; However, it has been a name that a few weeks ago was completely unknown to the great masses. Just like Among Us in his day.
