Mewgenics, a cat-breeding indie from the team behind The Binding of Isaac and The End is Nigh, has leapt to the top of Steam's concurrent-player rankings. The game's sudden rise pushed it past Hades 2, handing the indie a high-profile moment on the platform.

  • Mewgenics recorded a new peak in concurrent Steam users, overtaking the title that previously held the platform's crown.
  • The release comes from the creators of The Binding of Isaac and The End is Nigh, whose pedigree helped draw attention to the project.
  • Displacing Hades 2 highlights how quickly an indie can climb the charts when player interest converges around a fresh release.
  • The achievement underlines continuing appetite for inventive, smaller-scale games on Steam and puts Mewgenics squarely in the spotlight.
  • For the developers, the moment is likely to translate to increased visibility, player discussion and media coverage following the chart climb.
