Историческая стратегия Age of Empires IV от Xbox Game Studios возглавила глобальный чарт самых продаваемых игр в Steam за неделю, завершившуюся 31 октября.
It turns out Age of Empires 4 has been a big hit on Steam. According to SteamDB's data, the brand-new strategy game - which launched late last week - has sailed to the top of the platform's weekly bestsellers for the week ending October 31.
SteamDB shows that Age of Empires IV has nabbed the top two spots on this past week's list of Steam's top-selling games, with the top spot being the main game and the second spot taken by the game's pre-orders. Curiously, the game's sat in the number seven spot of the weekly bestsellers, too, though with the different versions of the game (standard, digital deluxe, and a bundle) being available via the same Steam page, it's likely that these double entries reflect the two different editions - though it's not clear which is which.
Either way, it's an impressive feat for the game. The Age of Empires 4 release date was only October 28, so that means the long-awaited next instalment in the long-running strategy series racked up the biggest number of sales on Steam that week in just three days. The game sits above other big titles such as Amazon's MMO New World, as well as Back 4 Blood, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Football Manager 2022 in the list.

Cheat codes are a strong staple of strategy games, and Age of Empires as a series is known for some great ones. From magical bears to cars that can fire lasers, you've been able to do some weird and wonderful things via the command console. Check out our guides to Age of Empires 3 cheats or Age of Empires 2 cheats if you want an idea of what past RTS games have done.
Will Age of Empires 4 have cheats? Yes - World's Edge creative director Adam Isgreen confirmed in an interview with Rock,Paper,Shotgun that cheats would be coming post-launch, but they're not in the game currently. What the timetable is going to be is unknown, as it really depends on whether there were any consumer-friendly cheats used during game development.
For cheats that involve funny super units, the art for those would need to be created as well, assuming they weren't done prior to launch. It's not as simple and flicking a switch and making everything available for the masses. We'll let you know as soon as Age of Empires 4 cheats become available.
