Now that Subnautica 2 is out, the most wishlisted game on Steam is… a game that’s been out for almost 2 years?

Subnautica 2 held the top spot on Steam's most-wishlisted titles since the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong in September 2025, but its recent launch has allowed Light No Fire to become the new frontrunner for the most-wishlisted game. Deadlock, which has been available for nearly two years and receives regular updates, now ranks at the top of the wishlist despite being in early access. It has a peak concurrent player count of 171,490 and an average of over 50,000 players at any given moment.

Channeling its inner Silksong, Subnautica 2 causes a chain reaction and pushes a second game to move its release date early

The release date of Outbound has been moved from May 14 to May 11 to avoid competition with Subnautica 2, which has over a million Steam wishlists. Farm to Table has also adjusted its launch date to May 9 for a more relaxed experience for players. This trend of shifting release dates is reminiscent of the impact Hollow Knight: Silksong had on other games. Subnautica 2 is currently the most-wishlisted game on Steam. The developers of Subnautica 2 have opted not to use generative AI in their game development, despite their parent company Krafton adopting an "AI first" approach.

Steam’s Most-Wishlisted Games Forced Into Early Release As Subnautica 2 Pulls A Hollow Knight: Silksong

Developers are adjusting their release schedules due to the impending launch of major titles like GTA 6 and Hollow Knight: Silksong. The release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong in September 2025 has caused over eight games to delay their launches, with some moving to November and others, like Aeterna Lucis, postponing until 2026. The early access release of Subnautica 2, confirmed for May 14, has led other games, including Outbound, to change their release dates. Outbound, originally set for May 14, will now launch on May 11 for Steam and Xbox, while keeping May 14 for Epic Games Store and PlayStation.
