GameDiscoverCo: Top 10 Steam Games in June 2025
Stellar Blade is the month's most successful new release; PEAK is on top by copies sold.
Stellar Blade is the top-grossing new release. The game earned $80.4M in gross revenue in June. 58% of its audience is from China.
Second place goes to Dune: Awakening with $54.3M in gross revenue. Third and fourth are Rematch ($23.6M) and Deltarune ($21.7M).
Broken Arrow is the unexpected success of the month. The game made $12.1M, with CCU around 20,000, and is sold at $49.99.
Another unusual entry on the list is Date Everything! This is a dating simulator where you can date... household objects. The game earned $4.4M.
In terms of copies sold, Peak is June's leader. The game sold 2.9 million copies in two weeks.
There’s a strong overlap with the gross revenue chart above, which means there are few cheap projects (except for Peak).

Interestingly, the chart for copies sold includes two Chinese FMV games: Revenge on Gold Diggers (1.1 million copies) and God Bless, or Goddess (180,000 copies).
The leader by a wide margin in total gross revenue is Counter-Strike 2. According to GameDiscoverCo, the game earned about $134M in June.
❗️Simon Carless (Founder of GameDiscoverCo) notes that estimating F2P project revenue is more complicated than B2P. There may be inaccuracies.
Notably, Stellar Blade did not heavily discount the game in China (a standard market practice). The game is 37.5% cheaper than in the US, but 35% more expensive than Steam's recommended price. Usually, the Chinese audience reacts sharply to this, but this time it was fine.
