P.O.N. is a co-op horror game where you do heists while being hunted by an AI predator that is very obviously Batman. The Steam page names him nothing. Two developers, started in July, already viral. That premise carried itself.

Rust peaked at 196,478 concurrent players on Valentine's Day, a 157% single-day spike. Steam's PvP Fest boosted every fighting game in the sale, and the top beneficiary was a survival crafting game where you beat your neighbor with a rock.

Subnautica 2 has an estimated 3.8M Steam wishlists, more than any other confirmed 2026 game. Forza Horizon 6 is at 2.6M and it only went live in January. The gap is almost entirely explained by Subnautica 2 having 15 extra months on the storefront.

R.E.P.O. launched in February 2025, hit 271K CCU, was written off as a friendslop flash in the pan. It's now having its China moment in February 2026. Currently top 4 in the Chinese Steam market, almost a full year post-launch.

88,045. That's Nioh 3's Steam CCU peak, which is 8x what the original Nioh ever hit. The series didn't change that much. Team Ninja just launched on PC and console simultaneously for the first time.

Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown just launched on four platforms at once. PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and Steam. The IP still has a fanbase large enough to justify that kind of simultaneous release.

Styx: Blades of Greed launches today, nine years after the last entry. PC Gamer called it the best the series has been. The stealth genre has barely any competition right now, which helps.

Mewgenics recouped its entire development budget in 180 minutes on Feb 10. By day 7 it had cleared 1 million copies and $23M in revenue. Edmund McMillen spent 14 years on this one. That's a patient bet that paid off.

March 19 is shaping up to be a brutal release day. Crimson Desert (2M wishlists) and Death Stranding 2 PC both drop on the same date. NORSE: Oath of Blood launched yesterday and hit the top sellers list without anyone noticing because all the oxygen was elsewhere.
