From the above stats, it’s pretty clear that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain had a great month on Steam. SOMA has managed to sell almost 48K copies, which is slightly above 50% of SOMA’s total sales. Do note that this 50% is not the game’s overall PC sales (as it’s being available via Humble Store and GOG.com). NBA 2K16 also had some great sales as it sold 42K copies in two days.
