Forza Horizon 6 has recently lost its crown as the top-selling game on Steam, a title now held by an unexpected newcomer. This surprise contender, a hide-and-seek game called Meccha Chameleon, has taken the gaming world by storm since its release on June 9. In just ten days, it has achieved remarkable success, selling five million copies and establishing itself not only as the current best-seller but also as the leading title for the week of June 9 to June 16. Priced at a mere on Steam, its affordability certainly contributes to its rapid rise, marking a significant milestone for its solo developer, Lemorion, who has previously released smaller titles without approaching this level of success.

For those unfamiliar with the game, Meccha Chameleon invites players to engage in a unique twist on the classic hide-and-seek format. Players must paint their bodies to blend into their surroundings, creating a visually engaging experience that tests both creativity and strategy. The game’s mechanics hinge on the competition between the “Seeker” team and the “Hider” team, with victory determined by whether the Seekers can locate all Hiders before time runs out. This innovative approach to gameplay has captivated audiences, although it is worth noting that the game is not yet Steam Deck Verified, which may affect its accessibility for some users. Nonetheless, Valve has listed it as playable on the handheld device.
