Slay the Spire 2 and Bongo Cat are straight-up owning the Steam charts while half the big-name shooters are sweating bullets in the background. We're talking 124k concurrent for the roguelike deckbuilder and 120k for the meme cat that just sits there bopping to your keyboard mashing. Meanwhile, some live service FPS is probably sitting there with 30k wondering where the squad went. L + ratio to the hype trains that dropped and dipped.

MegaCrit's sequel smashed records earlier this year with a wild all-time peak over 574k, proving that addictive card-slaying loops still hit different in 2026. No MTX, no battle pass, just pure brain-rotting runs that keep pulling players back. Bongo Cat? It's basically a desktop pet that punches your taskbar and collects hats while you type -- overwhelmingly positive reviews, zero real gameplay, yet it's been camping top 5-10 spots for months like a viral parasite. Reddit's full of people calling it the ultimate idle distraction or straight-up scam-adjacent fun, but the numbers don't lie: this cat meta is undefeated.

Shooters and battle royales used to dominate these charts. Now? The rogue-like and piano-punching cat are humiliating them. Community on X is losing it over how an indie sequel and a glorified screensaver are outlasting polished AAA drops. Goated behavior from the little guys. Skill issue for everyone else still chasing that next big live service W.
