As of the 13th, 'Plague Inc: Evolved' has surged to the top of the global charts. It seems the combination of a new DLC release and its first-ever 80% discount, which began on the 10th, has significantly boosted its momentum.

On the 10th, Steam launched a 'hidden object' themed festival. While many titles joined the sale, 'Plague Inc: Evolved' capitalized on the trend by increasing its discount to 80%.

Adding to the interest, the 'Aliens & Anti-Vaxxers' expansion was released on the 7th. The new DLC blends cosmic horror with modern-day memes. It centers on 'Xenophobes,' a new disease that terraforms Earth with alien crystals. Additionally, six new scenarios have been added, including 'Anti-Vaxxers,' 'Hell on Earth,' 'Zombie vs. Earth,' 'Measles,' 'Herd Immunity,' and 'Cure Frenzy.' A Leprosy scenario has also been added as a free update, allowing players to enjoy it without the DLC.

Following the new DLC release and the 80% discount, user reviews on Steam remain 'Very Positive.' Players have praised the new content, including the special disease, at the affordable price of 3,300 won, with many expressing anticipation for further content updates.

Elsewhere, 'Pragmata' has entered the top 10. 'Crimson Desert' has maintained the number one spot for nearly a month, drawing attention on the 10th by announcing upcoming content additions such as difficulty settings and boss rematches.

In the daily peak concurrent players top 20, 'Geometry Dash' reached 20th place with 92,919 players. While there are no major issues, it has maintained its player count for nearly six months after surpassing 100,000. 'Apex Legends' continued its upward trend from the March Gundam collaboration through the weekend, recording 295,705 players.
