Steam indie hit Meccha Chameleon made more money than any other PC game last month apart from Fortnite, according to new data

Indie hide and seek hit Meccha Chameleon was apparently the second-highest-grossing PC game of June, just behind Fortnite. Going viral is the best thing that can happen to an indie game. We've seen it happen a number of times now with the likes of Peak, Among Us, R.E.P.O, and Lethal Company, and the result is smaller titles absolutely popping off. Meccha Chameleon is easily 2026's biggest contender in this category, with the viral hit that takes classic hide-and-seek game modes to the next level selling 7 million copies in its first two weeks, before going on to sell 15 million copies within its first month, making it not only the fastest-selling game of 2026, but also the best-selling game of the year. If it keeps that momentum up, it stands a good shot of holding that title… until GTA 6 releases, but no one's taking that one on. Unsurprisingly, with sales like that, the game has made a good chunk of money. According to games industry data firm Newzoo (via Gamesindustry), Meccha Chameleon was the second-biggest PC game of June 2026 in terms of revenue, just behind Fortnite. Given that the game is $5.99 (which isn't even enough to get you the lowest bundle of V-Bucks), it's quite the impressive figure. Despite how overwhelming it is, Fortnite actually came third in May, but with the launch of Chapter 7 Season 3, it bounced back up to the top. May's top game, Forza Horizon 6, dropped five spots after the launch wave. Aside from Meccha Chameleon, Marvel Rivals, The Sims 4, and Dead By Daylight were the other new faces in the monthly top 10, with Dead By Daylight jumping 16 spaces thanks to its 10th anniversary celebrations. Earlier this month, Meccha Chameleon's popularity spawned the inevitable result of any Steam popoff: a fast-follow AI ripoff that even uses the same name in some regions. Of course, in typical Roblox being the worst fashion, clones of the game on there are actually outdoing the original in terms of playercount. [/url]
