New on Steam. Shooter awaited by millions takes center stage this week

by

Greetings! This week, we’re delving into our series highlighting significant new arrivals on Steam. However, this week’s lineup might seem a bit sparse compared to usual. The reason is straightforward – the summer sale is in full swing, and many developers are hesitant to introduce major releases as they wouldn’t want their own productions to be overshadowed by a flurry of discounts during the sale.

Release of the week: Mecha BREAK (July 2, 2025)

This week, the game that’s anticipated to be a major hit at the box office is none other than Mecha BREAK. It’s a shooter game centered around online combat (both player versus player and cooperative play), where gamers get to command swift mech machines.

Over 207,000 gamers are keeping tabs on this game via Steam, and it was revealed last year that almost 3 million people had signed up for the game. During the Spring Steam Next Fest, it was the most-watched demo, indicating a high level of interest in the project. Given its free-to-play structure with microtransactions, the launch is expected to generate significant buzz.
