MECCHA CHAMELEON holds the global #1 spot on Steam for the third consecutive week as the 2026 Summer Sale drives massive discounts on AAA titles including Cyberpunk 2077 at 70% off and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II at a record 90% off.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

MECCHA CHAMELEON held the global number one spot on Steam’s weekly best-sellers chart for the third consecutive week during 23-30 June 2026. The indie hide-and-seek game, which surpassed 10 million copies sold<\/strong> in just 16 days after its 9 June launch, dominated the charts alongside a wave of deeply discounted AAA titles driven by the Steam Summer Sale 2026<\/strong>, which began on 25 June and runs until 9 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Made MECCHA CHAMELEON the Biggest Indie Hit of 2026?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Developed by solo Japanese creator lemorion_1224 using Unreal Engine, MECCHA CHAMELEON is a multiplayer casual game where players paint their white bodies to blend into the environment during hide-and-seek rounds. The concept is simple, but the execution turned it into a viral phenomenon. The game reached a peak of 340,534 concurrent players<\/strong> on 21 June, placing it among the top 100 most-played games in Steam’s entire history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At just $5.99 (with a launch discount previously bringing it to $4.79), the game’s accessibility and streamer-friendly design fuelled explosive growth. It entered Steam’s global top sellers list on day one and has not left since. With an 83% positive rating from players, the game’s reception confirms it is more than a passing trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the Steam Summer Sale 2026 Reshaped the Charts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 2026 Summer Sale, running from 25 June to 9 July<\/strong>, is one of the most aggressive discount events in recent Steam history. Valve’s Deep Discounts category highlighted games at 85% off or more, and several titles hit their lowest-ever recorded prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II<\/strong> dropped to $6.99 with a 90% discount, its all-time low on Steam. This pushed the 2022 shooter from outside the top 30 into the global top 10 within days. Cyberpunk 2077<\/strong> at 70% off ($13.49) climbed to 4th place globally, proving the game’s continued drawing power nearly six years after its original release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Baldur’s Gate 3<\/strong>, which rarely sees major price drops, received its first 25% discount. The result was a 59-rank jump on the weekly chart. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II<\/strong>, released just four months ago in February 2025, already hit 60% off at $17.99, a notably steep cut for such a recent release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
