Top-rated Steam PC Demos Released Last Week (20th–26th of July 2026)

Every week, we check out all of the top released titles on Steam over the past week, which gives us an idea about which sorts of games are launching. We sort these by the user review score, favouring those with high reviews and ratings, and we use the SteamDB algorithm to rank them.

During the time, we take a detour through the top-released demos. We think they're an important part of the industry, and something that plenty of players love to engage with — so, we started keeping track of the top demos per week as well, as a thank-you to the developers who offer hands-on looks at their games.

One final note: we have already spoken about our stance against AI, so none of the titles with the technology will be included in this list. We don't believe in the use of the technology, so we're removing games that use it altogether to make space for the developers giving it their all. You can learn more about our stance here.
