19 Hidden Gems Launching on Steam This Week (22nd–28th of June 2026)

With hundreds of games launching on Steam every week, it's hard for indie developers to make it through the ever-challenging marketing wall that the videogame industry has. For this reason, we started tracking all of the possible hidden gems, sharing a list of titles that have been going under the radar to give them some attention.

One thing worth noting is that this list has no games with AI generation in them (at least, disclosed). We want to support and celebrate the developers that are making everything through their hard work and dedication, so we're hoping to platform them to the best of our ability. You can learn more about our stance on AI use here.
