Steam's Best-Selling Games This Week: MECCHA CHAMELEON Dominates While Summer Sale Looms

Steam’s top sellers for the week of 16-23 June 2026 are in. MECCHA CHAMELEON continues its meteoric rise with over 5 million copies sold, while Cyberpunk 2077’s record 70% discount and the new Dead by Daylight Jason DLC shake up the charts just before the Steam Summer Sale.

Steam’s global top sellers chart for the week of 16-23 June 2026 is headlined by familiar free-to-play giants and a breakout indie phenomenon. MECCHA CHAMELEON, the hide-and-seek party game that crossed 5 million copies sold in just two weeks, held the number two revenue spot behind PUBG: Battlegrounds. Meanwhile, a record 70% discount on Cyberpunk 2077 catapulted it to fourth place, and the Dead by Daylight: Jason DLC injected fresh momentum into the decade-old horror classic.

Beyond the top 15, notable entries included Dead by Daylight: Jason at rank 30 (released 16 June), The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales from Square Enix at rank 29, and Gothic 1 Remake holding steady at 36 after its early June launch.

Why Is MECCHA CHAMELEON Everywhere?

MECCHA CHAMELEON is an asymmetric multiplayer party game developed by Japanese solo developer Lemorion_1224 with support from Haganeiro. Released on Steam on 10 June 2026, it was built in roughly two months and launched at a price point under $6. Instead of the traditional prop-hunt mechanic where players turn into objects, MECCHA CHAMELEON gives players a drawing tool to paint their white blobby character to blend into the environment: walls, floors, shadows, signs, anything on the map.

The results have been staggering. The game hit 1 million copies sold in four days, 2 million in five days, and surpassed 5 million within two weeks. Its concurrent player peak on Steam reached over 340,000. Streamer-friendly design (the game actively encourages content creators to tag it in livestream titles) and the viral nature of its gameplay clips fuelled explosive organic growth. At $5.99 globally, it sits comfortably as 2026’s fastest-selling indie game so far.

Cyberpunk 2077 Hits Its Largest Discount Ever

CD Projekt Red’s open-world RPG Cyberpunk 2077 surged to fourth on the global revenue chart thanks to a record-breaking 70% discount, dropping the price to $17.99. The Phantom Liberty expansion also climbed the chart at rank 13 with its own discount. For players who have been waiting for the right moment, this represents the lowest Steam price in the game’s history.

Alongside Cyberpunk, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt re-entered regional charts with a massive 90% discount, bringing its price down to just $2.99. The Complete Edition (including Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine) dropped 80% to $7.59. Both promotions were set to expire around 25 June, right as the Steam Summer Sale begins.

Dead by Daylight Surges With Jason Voorhees DLC

Dead by Daylight jumped 13 places on the global chart to fifth, powered by two factors: a 60% base game discount and the release of the Dead by Daylight: Jason DLC on 16 June 2026. The addition of Jason Voorhees to the game’s killer roster has been one of the most anticipated crossover events in the game’s ten-year history. The DLC itself debuted at rank 30 on the revenue chart as a separate entry.

Forza Horizon 6 and Path of Exile 2 Hold Strong

Forza Horizon 6 continued its impressive post-launch performance at rank 10 globally. Released on 19 May 2026, the racing game smashed franchise records with 172,093 concurrent players during early access and reached 300,000 concurrent players on Steam by its fifth day. With over 6 million players in its first week and more than 77,000 reviews on Steam, it has established itself as one of 2026’s biggest releases at $69.99.

Path of Exile 2 held rank 9 at its $29.99 price point. Grinding Gear Games’ action RPG sequel, in early access since December 2024, continues to attract a dedicated player base and has been a consistent top-seller across multiple regions since launch.

What Moved Off the Charts This Week?

Comparing with the previous week (9-16 June), several games dropped out of the upper ranks. Gothic 1 Remake slipped from a higher position to rank 36 as its launch window momentum faded. FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE fell to rank 20. Meanwhile, newcomers like the Jurassic World Evolution 3: Rebirth Expansion (rank 38) and SAND: Raiders of Sophie (rank 48, released 22 June) entered the bottom half of the top 50.

Steam Summer Sale 2026 Starts Tomorrow

Perhaps the biggest context for this week’s chart is what comes next. The Steam Summer Sale 2026 officially begins on 25 June 2026 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (18:00 BST / 19:00 CEST) and runs until 9 July 2026. Valve’s largest annual sale event is expected to bring deep discounts across thousands of titles for two full weeks.

Many of the current discounts visible on the chart (Cyberpunk 2077, Dead by Daylight, EA SPORTS FC 26, The Witcher 3) may either carry over into or be replaced by Summer Sale pricing. Players who have been holding off on purchases should prepare their wishlists, as Day 1 of the Summer Sale typically reveals the best deals that stay consistent throughout the event.

How Regional Charts Differ From Global Rankings

It is worth noting that regional best-seller lists often look quite different from the global revenue chart. In Turkey, for example, the top seller this week was MECCHA CHAMELEON at a regional price of $3.99, followed by EA SPORTS FC 26 at its 80% discount and Dead by Daylight. Free-to-play heavyweights like PUBG and Counter-Strike 2 that dominate the global revenue chart do not appear on regional purchase-based lists since they generate revenue primarily through in-game spending rather than unit sales.

Budget-friendly indie titles and heavily discounted AAA games tend to perform disproportionately well in price-sensitive regions, while full-price $60-70 titles climb the global revenue chart faster due to higher per-unit revenue. This is why a $5.99 game like MECCHA CHAMELEON can top regional unit sales while sitting at rank 2 on the global revenue chart behind a free-to-play title with massive microtransaction spending.

Key Takeaways From This Week’s Chart

The 16-23 June 2026 week represents a transitional moment for Steam’s sales ecosystem. The current chart is shaped by three forces: the viral indie phenomenon of MECCHA CHAMELEON proving that a sub-$6 party game can compete with AAA juggernauts, aggressive pre-Summer Sale discounts on legacy titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3, and well-timed DLC drops like Dead by Daylight: Jason capitalising on established player bases.

With the Steam Summer Sale launching tomorrow, next week’s chart will almost certainly look dramatically different. Thousands of additional titles will enter discount territory, reshuffling the rankings across every region. For now, MECCHA CHAMELEON’s 5-million-copy, two-week run stands as the breakout story of mid-2026, and its position on both global and regional charts shows no signs of slowing down.
