Weekly Top Trending Games on Steam (6th–12th of April 2026)

At the start of each week, we like to take a look at all of the top-trending games on Steam based on Followers. This gives us an idea about which new titles have been announced, what people are hyped about, and what we can look forward to regarding in terms of new content.

Despite our stance against AI Generated Content Disclosures on Steam, we are still including titles with AI generation in them. We do this to keep the journalism honest and the videogame industry's reactions true — if gamers are still interacting with it, we think it's worth to reflect that's happening. Still, we've added an extra bullet-point item to let users who don't like AI in their games a chance to skip it.
