The developers behind Dungreed have officially transitioned their new title, 'Sephiria', out of Early Access with the 1.0 update on July 31st. Since then, the number of Concurrent Players has been on a steady climb, reaching an all-time high as of the 6th.

The 1.0 official launch update brings the main story to a close with the addition of Chapter 6 and the final ending. The developers have also stuffed the game with content: 3 new bosses, 19 new artifacts, and 7 slate types, all of which expand your build variety significantly. To keep things tidy, a new auxiliary bag system and a tutorial compendium have been introduced. The Concurrent Players count, which used to hover around 1,000, smashed through the 14,000 mark on launch day and continued to swell, hitting 28,924 by the 6th.

Sephiria follows the tale of a rabbit on a quest to save its village. The gameplay loop is a clever mix of action and inventory management, where you must strategically arrange artifacts and slates that synergize to boost the character's power. By peeking at rewards in the next room, players can plot their path to uncover the true nature of the threat.

Sephiria's full release has earned a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam (1,263 reviews, 91% positive). Players seem to love the build freedom offered by the inventory management mechanics, and the action—dashing, parrying, and landing hits—feels satisfyingly punchy. However, some have pointed out that the final boss introduced in the 1.0 update feels a bit unfair, with others suggesting that the game forces players into specific builds to handle the high difficulty.

The developer has already pushed three rounds of bug fixes and performance improvements since launch and continues to actively engage with player feedback.

Elsewhere on the Steam global top sellers list, Marvel Rivals climbed to 2nd place ahead of its launch. Meanwhile, the creators of Buckshot Roulette have debuted their new title, 'Machine Party', at 10th place. Released on the 30th, this multiplayer game blends a Mario Party-style aesthetic with a darker tone, currently sitting at 'Very Positive'.

In the Top 20 daily peak Concurrent Players list, Project Zomboid has managed to stay in the rankings for over a week following its new build update on the 29th. Taskbar Hero recorded 175,438 players; the downward trend continues after the game fell below the 400,000 mark about a month ago. It has been a week since it dipped below 200,000, and the decline shows no signs of stopping yet.
