Japan\u2019s Steam charts for February 28, 2025, show that Konami\u2019s Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection<\/strong> is in at No.4 on its day of release (as reported by GameBiz<\/a>). The collection of 14 Yu-Gi-Oh! games, originally released from the 1990s to the early 2000s, came out on PC and Switch today to commemorate the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game’s 25th anniversary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection became playable for Steam users in Japan from 1pm (JST) on February 28. In the overall global chart for Steam, it debuted slightly lower at No.7. Monster Hunter Wilds and Apex Legends still remain at No. 1 and No. 2 respectively on both the Japan-only and global charts. JR EAST Train Simulator<\/a>, which came out in 2022, has been boosted up the charts recently as its add-on, JR EAST Train Simulator: 185 Series, was released on February 27.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
