Steam offers a huge catalog, but some titles attract particular attention before launch and quickly rise in the most anticipated rankings.
You can add a game to your Steam wishlist, which lets developers measure how much interest their project generates. Titles that are frequently wishlisted climb the charts, moving closer to the top and drawing even more attention.
In October 2025, several established franchises will return to PC on Steam, and a new title from Embark Studios is set to appear.
