Around the middle of each month, Valve publishes a list of the top new best-selling games from the previous month on Steam based on sales in the first two weeks of those titles. Specific sales figures are not disclosed, so we don’t know which game sold the most, but every month, there are always a few games that naturally make it to that list, along with some quite surprising titles.
February 2020 was no exception. The blockbuster title Metro Exodus is naturally on the list, along with Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection, and Dota Underlords (games that players are eagerly anticipating). Surprisingly, lesser-known games like Tank Mechanic Simulator, Death and Taxes, and OshiRabu: Waifus Over Husbandos also made the list. Notably, 11 out of the 20 games on this list are debut works from newly emerged developers.
