In a report published April 30, 2025, GizChina named The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered the leader in its Steam list for the week ending April 29. This is a historical ranking, not a current Steam chart.
What the reported Steam ranking says
GizChina’s April 30, 2025, article places The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered first, followed by Counter-Strike 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Steam Deck appears fourth, ahead of Schedule I in fifth. The list is attributed to GizChina; its article does not explain how it compiled or measured the ranking. GizChina’s report

How to interpret “most downloaded”
GizChina describes the entries as Steam’s “most downloaded” PC games, but the article provides no download totals, chart methodology, geographic scope, or definition of what the ranking measures. Its ordinal positions should therefore be read as the order reported by GizChina—not as verified download counts, sales figures, or a ranking independently confirmed by Valve.
Steam Deck is hardware, not a game
The fourth-place entry is Steam Deck, a hardware product rather than software. Its inclusion means the list is not exclusively a ranking of games, despite the article’s framing.
