Mistfall Hunter, which turned heads at last June's Next Fest by dominating both the most-anticipated and trending demo charts, finally hit the shelves on the 30th. It has rocketed to the top of the Steam global charts, unseating heavyweights like Halo: Combat Evolved and Cyberpunk 2077.

The game drops you into a dark fantasy world where a golden fog has mutated every living creature into a nightmare. You take on the role of a Gold Hunter, resurrected by a mysterious girl named 'Lou', and venture into the forbidden, fog-choked lands. Your primary objective? Repair the shattered web of fate, hoard your loot, and escape with your skin intact.

Each match pits up to 15 players against one another in an extraction-style scramble. If you successfully reach an extraction point, the gear and artifacts you’ve scavenged are yours to keep. Die, however, and you lose everything. The combat leans heavily into the soulslike genre, demanding precise parries and careful stamina management, while the flexible weapon-swapping and trait trees allow for some interesting class-building.

On its launch day, the community sentiment is decidedly Mixed, with a 54% positive rating (based on 427 reviews). Players have praised the soulslike combat, the satisfying feedback, and the genuinely tense atmosphere of the extraction loop. However, it hasn't been all smooth sailing. Players in Oceania are fuming over the lack of local servers, resulting in unplayable pings, while others are frustrated by the inability to switch between server regions. Frequent crashes and lingering server instability have also soured the mood. To top it off, early adopters are venting about tutorial-breaking lag and issues with non-refundable DLC.

Elsewhere, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has surged back into the top ranks, bolstered by fresh DLC that adds over 30 playable characters to the roster. Meanwhile, Disney Dreamlight Valley sits comfortably at 9th place, thanks to a new update that lets you buddy up with Wreck-It Ralph.

Looking at the peak Concurrent Players, EA Sports FC 26 sits at 122,703—a slight dip of about 10,000 from the previous day. Still, it’s holding firm above the 100,000 mark, even with the World Cup and its associated sale well in the rearview mirror. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is showing similar staying power, maintaining a player count in the 120,000 range three weeks after its 90% discount promotion ended.
