35 Hidden Gems Launching on Steam This Week (20–26th of October 2025)

At the beginning of every week, we take the opportunity to browse through all of the titles coming out on Steam that week (of which there are almost 500 for this one) to find what might be going under the radar. As an indie-friendly outlet, we take the opportunity to highlight titles we think you should check out, and this was a — quite frankly — gartantuan week.
