The dating game Colonel Sanders is in the top hottest games on Steam in September

With September coming to an end a few weeks ago, Valve compiled this month’s list of the 20 newest games. As usual, this list does not show sales figures, but ranks them from high to low.

Eight games on this list are still in Early Access, indicating that the feature “continues to be a valuable and unique choice in the process of product creation and community engagement and learning”.. 9 games in this list – Green Hell, Gears 5, Session, Ni no Kuni, Crying Suns, Noita, Flotsam, Cube World, and Maelstrom – all come from the same developers who first launched the game on Steam. But it can be a bit odd to equate Gears 5 and Ni No Kumi with games like Crying Suns and Noita.

The 18 games on the list also support controllers, which shows that Valve really cares about the number of players using them.

“In our controller numbers released in September, we are very excited about this level of engagement. As many had expected, Pro Evolution Soccer, NBA2K, and Code Vein were hugely popular with the controller—all three were in the top 10 controller games for September in the entire Steam catalog,” Valve explained. prefer.

“It’s understandable to see controllers being used in games like this, but many other genres of games are seeing an increase in controller players as well – Session, River City Girls, Ni no Kuni, Blasphemous, Spyro, Surge 2 and Final Fantasy VIII all had more than half of the console games played in September.”

And here is the list:

• Spyro Reignited Trilogy
• Children of Morta
• Final Fantasy 8 Remastered
• NBA 2K20
• River City Girls
