Wild times for the young indie developer Zeekerss: The co-op game Lethal Company is approaching the top position in the Steam top sellers
Every once in a blue moon, small miracles happen on Steam: inconspicuous games without a large advertising budget suddenly overtake big titles, sell thousands and thousands of units and flush big money into the coffers of small studios. Or, as in the case of Lethal Company, into the pocket of a young solo developer.

Lethal Company
(Genre: Co-op-Horror – Release: October 23, 2023 (Early Access) – Price: 9,75 Euro)
Place 4 in this week’s Steam top sellers: The solo developer Zeekerss has succeeded in creating a surprise hit with Lethal Company . In Early Access, the game currently has around 123,000 simultaneously active players on Steam. Based on experience, this suggests sales in the millions.
It will be exciting to see whether Lethal Company can even pick up speed. The previous high was reached within the last 24 hours, so things could continue to go uphill. Either way, the horror game, in which users scour abandoned moon bases for scrap metal and encounter various horrors along the way, is extremely well received with 98 percent approval from over 37,000 Steam ratings
Steam Deck (OLED)
(Genre: n/a – Release: November 16, 2023 – Price: 569/679 Euro)

Valve once again: The new Steam Deck with OLED display was the undisputed king in terms of sales on Steam last week. Manufacturer Valve can therefore look forward to strong sales
The handheld PC comes in two versions: with 512 GB and 1 TB SSD storage. The new Steam deck also offers improvements to the refresh rate (90 Hertz) and battery performance, among other things.
Remnant 2
(Genre: Soulslike-Shooter – Release: July 25, 2023 – Price: 49,99 Euro)
Remnant 2 isn’t even that old yet, but it’s already experiencing a small second spring. On Steam, the previously successful shooter in Unreal Engine 5 reached eighth place in the top-selling games
The reasons: Firstly, the first DLC The Awakened King was released on November 14, and secondly, Gearbox has been offering the main game at a 30 percent discount since then.
