25-Year-Old Game Is Currently the #1 Best-Selling Game on Steam

Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved, has been released in early access on the Steam marketplace by Xbox and Halo Studios. It has quickly become a top seller on Steam, currently priced competitively. The game has received a “Mostly Positive” rating from users, with around 70% of reviews being positive. Players have praised its gameplay mechanics and visuals, but there are concerns about bugs, performance issues, and the quality of cutscenes. The game has been verified for compatibility with the Steam Deck. Its position as a top seller may be challenged by other games like Palworld as the gaming community explores new releases.

MindsEye has multiplayer and a grenade football mode now, which the handful of people still playing it will no doubt be thrilled to hear

Build a Rocket Boy is committed to developing its open-world shooter, MindsEye, despite facing challenges such as low sales, recent layoffs, and allegations of surveillance technology being installed on employees' workstations. The latest update, Update 8, introduces a team-based multiplayer mode called "grenade football," where players aim to score by propelling a large ball into the opposing team's net. However, the gameplay appears unpolished, with issues like the oversized ball disappearing during play. The game has seen a peak of only 36 concurrent players in the past 24 hours, raising concerns about player engagement. The update also includes new racing circuits, social features, and improvements to the single-player experience, such as better enemy physics, adjusted mission difficulty, and refined AI behavior. Despite the rocky launch, there is a desire for improvement, but former developers have protested against the studio's practices, and concerns have been raised about the shifting of work from employees to the fanbase during a crisis in the gaming industry.

Paralives, created by indie designer Alex Massé, launched on Steam in May 2026 as an early access title and sold 250,000 copies within eight hours, achieving a peak concurrent player count of 78,603.
