12 Hidden Gems Launching on Steam This Week (13–19th of October 2025)

With hundreds of games launching on Steam every week, we like to take the opportunity on Mondays to highlight some of the indie titles that are struggling to catch some of the limelight. As an indie-friendly outlet, we like to highlight the top titles that seem to be going under the radar, and that's why we started our Hidden Gems article series.

Below, you can find all of the games launching this week — our criterion for this article is anything below 1,000 Followers that we felt deserved a bit more love and attention. It's worth noting that some of these games may still be subject to delays. 

Check out our 12 highlights of the week!
