In the latest ($) @GameDiscoverCo newsletter, we ask which PC games with >100k players have the highest percentage of owners in certain countries: newsletter.gamediscover.co/p/which-pc-gam… (Here's Japan, for the curious. Yes, the top game is a train simulator and #2 is a hostess sim.)

Metaphor ReFantazio is the biggest Atlus release on Steam and one of the biggest JRPGs ever released on the platform surpassing Tales of Arise (60,274) but behind Granblue Fantasy: Relink (114,054) with 85,961 players. Reception was also stunningly positive, impressive results.

Here's @GameDiscoverCo's list of 'trending' unreleased Steam games, Oct 7th-14th, 2024*: - New to Steam, at least, Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption (#1) comes in like a wreckin' ball. - New 'cozy animal RPG' Hawthorn (#4) and cult sequel Pathologic 3 (#7) made a good impression.
