Top Steam Games by Revenue (April 21 - 28)
It's been a rough year for new multiplayer games, and the trend continues into 2025. Notably, Far Far West, developed by Evil Raptor, has emerged as a surprising success. This early access cooperative shooter is taking cues from titles like Left 4 Dead and Vermintide, and despite not having a 'yee-haw' button, players are embracing it. As of now, it stands as the third best-selling game on Steam in terms of revenue, behind Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era and Counter-Strike 2.

In contrast, Last Flag, a third-person shooter with MOBA elements released on April 15, has struggled to gain traction. With an all-time concurrent player record of just 558, its current player base sits at a dismal 35. Night Street Games, the developer, has announced that the game won't receive ongoing support beyond planned patches due to its low player count.
It's a stark reminder that success in today's gaming landscape is not guaranteed, and even games with promising concepts can falter. Meanwhile, Far Far West continues to thrive, illustrating that community interest can elevate a game beyond initial expectations.
