Over the last few weeks, the Steam Mobile team has released improvements and bug fixes for a handful of store pages, as we work toward releasing a new version of the mobile app.

Starting today, we’re testing out a new layout for store game pages on mobile phones. We’ve streamlined the layout to be more mobile friendly and easier to read. We’d like to know what you think.

These changes are live now. So the next time you browse to a store game page on your mobile phone, you’ll see this banner at the top of the game page.

We're happy to announce our Top Releases of June 2021



Riding high on the excitement of the annual Steam Summer Sale, we're happy to announce Steam's Top Releases for the month of June. As with previous lists, we look at every game released during the month and highlight the Top 20 based on their first two weeks of revenue. We also highlight the top 5 free-to-play games, ranked by the number of unique players they acquired after launch.

The Top Releases of June 2021

With the release of fresh single-player games like Going Medieval and SCARLET NEXUS, June's Top Releases have families and friends begging each other for a turn. But for those having trouble sharing, we suggest taking a look the huge variety of content this month featuring unique multiplayer experiences. Join friends in an attempt to survive the perils of being stranded in Muck, or assemble your own starship crew to explore a chaotic-randomized galaxy in Pulsar: Lost Colony. If you're feeling less cooperative, GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- makes for the perfect opportunity to pick a fight with friends and foes alike. 

A number of these multiplayer releases also take full advantage of Steam's Remote Play Together functionality, which allows friends to connect to multiplayer sessions without even launching the game. The feature was recently updated as well, now letting players join these remote sessions without even having Steam installed. So grab that invite link and hop into a session with friends today.

Games with 'roguelike' tags showed up in a big way during June, with numerous titles making successful debuts as Top Releases. Like other tags on Steam, players often discuss whether or not games have the elements required of the 'roguelike' tag. With each game providing unique aesthetics and differences in design, it's no wonder there is debate over how they should be tagged. The good news is that the tagging system is flexible in allowing many to be applied, while also letting players create brand new tags. Recent examples include 'traditional roguelike', 'roguelike deckbuilder', and the creative-hybrid 'roguevania'. Check out the full list of June's Top Roguelikes for all the details. 

As we've done with past months, we'd also like to welcome the development teams who are bringing a product to Steam for the very first time. A big congrats go out to these teams on their successful Steam debuts.

We're happy to announce our Top Releases of May 2021



Returning to our monthly series, we're happy to announce Steam's Top Releases for the month of May. As with previous lists, we look at every game released during the month and highlight the Top 20 based on their first two weeks of revenue. We also highlight the top 5 free-to-play games, ranked by the number of unique players they acquired after launch.

The Top Releases of May 2021


No matter how many times we watch these Top Release lists come together, we're amazed by the consistent representation of games from developers around the world. It's never been easier for players to find familiar themes, locales, and cultural nods that resonate with them. Rather than siloing these experiences to certain segments of the Steam audience, developers are mindful of incorporating localized interfaces and announcements, while also adding subtitles and audio tracks for a increasing number of languages. This was on full display in May, as Top Releases supported an average of 9 languages each, with more than half offering multiple audio options. So no matter where you are reading this from, check out the full list for all the details.


May also saw releases from several big name franchises that have us looking back fondly at years of unforgettable characters and thrilling stories. As one of the most recognizable names in entertainment, Resident Evil Village marks the 25th anniversary of this legendary CAPCOM horror series. Saints Row & Mass Effect have been fixtures on Steam for more than a decade, so it's only fitting that their remastered editions are Top Releases all these years later. Fans of Shin Megami Tensei & MechWarrior have to look back even further, as these franchises debuted more than 30 years ago. Take a look at the full list of May's Franchises to pick your favorite.


Finally, it wouldn't be a Top Release list without congratulating the teams that are releasing their first Steam game. Some of these teams have been making games for a while on other platforms, while others are making their very first commercial game. A big welcome and congrats go out to these development teams on their successful Steam debuts.
