Roguelikes dominerar på Steam - har dragit in nästan fem miljarder kronor hittills i år
Roguelike-genren verkar vara fullständigt ostoppbar just nu, speciellt på Steam där genren dragit in nästan fem miljarder kronor hittills under 2026.
Detta enligt uppgifter från Alinea Analytics, som poängterar hur det dessutom inte handlar om några enstaka titlar som drar lasset, utan att försäljningen är spridd över många spel. Enligt siffrorna ska exempelvis Slay the Spire 2 redan ha sålt miljontals exemplar på Steam och lockat enorma mängder spelare som spenderat hundratals timmar
Alinea rapporterar att:
We've already had some banging new roguelikes this year. Our estimates show that on Steam alone, the genre is already approaching $500M in gross revenue for 2026. Players are spending on roguelikes, but they're also spending time. About a million people have already played Slay the Spire 2 for over 100 hours, and it's only been in early access for two months.
Kanske inte så extremt märkligt när man tänker på hur genren i grunden bygger på "bara en runda till"-konceptet och är djupt beroendeframkallande. Dessutom är expansionerna till spelen väldigt poppis, och man lyfter speciellt fram Barony, vars nya DLC lyckades sälja runt 200 000 exemplar trots att grundspelet är sju år gammalt.

Elina Svitolina sinks Coco Gauff to regain Italian Open after eight-year gap
Ukrainian wins final in Rome 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-2
Jannik Sinner to face Casper Ruud in men’s final
When facing the toughest opponents in the world, there were too many occasions in Elina Svitolina’s past when she would simply play not to lose. In the decisive moments of her most important encounters, Svitolina was often punished for her tendency to simply put the ball in court rather than attacking freely.
With time, age and many tough losses behind her along with her great successes, however, the 31-year-old has come to truly understand the importance of playing on her own terms. She has evolved into a much bolder, more decisive player, and showed her progress by taking another massive step forward in a resurgent season, defeating Coco Gauff after three bruising and attritional sets to capture her first significant title in eight years at the Italian Open with a stellar 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-2 win.

Out with the old, in with the new—Forza Horizon 6 has hit the scene, but a different open world online racer is getting scrubbed from digital storefronts just three years after its initial release. Lego 2K Drive, an open-world kart racer where you can build your own vehicles, announced on its Steam page (via IGN) that the game will no longer be available for purchase starting May 19.
If you already own the game or snag it before its exit, you can still use its multiplayer features until May 31 of next year. "After that time, all game functions requiring online servers will no longer function," the update reads. Given that a major feature of the game is sharing your custom Lego creations with other players, it seems like this coming year is your chance to experience the game as intended.
That's if you're so inclined, anyway. PC Gamer's Lewis Parker wasn't exactly head over heels for the game in his 59% review, where he called it "a solid kart racer" blemished by "greedy microtransactions." Indeed, a $50 digital currency bundle in a racing game aimed at children isn't a great look—though I'll admit the in-game kart creator using real-life Lego brick specifications is a nice touch.
Still, it seems like a relatively competent kart racer outside of that, so it's a shame that it's disappearing so soon after its release. It's a big year for sudden delistings so far—nearly 30 Disney games have vanished from digital storefronts since January and Stark Trek: Resurgence just announced its license ran out last month.
It's unclear what specifically prompted 2K Drive's exit, but the game did feature vehicles like the real-world McLaren Solus GT, so it seems likely that a licensing issue is at play.

Währenddessen versammelten sich bereits am Cottbuser Altmarkt die ersten Fans, um der Mannschaft einen euphorischen Empfang zu bereiten. Um kurz nach Mitternacht rollte der Bus dann an – der Jubel kannte keine Grenzen.
"Bulic auf die 4"
Mit zahlreichen Bengalos und Feuerwerkskörpern wurde der Aufstieg gefeiert, zudem sangen die Fans "Bulic auf die 4". Ein Seitenhieb gegen den Duisburger Spieler Rasim Bulic, der Energie Cottbus vor zwei Wochen das Leben schwer gemacht und nach der Partie erklärt hatte, dass er keine Lust auf die Relegation habe. Doch anstatt direkt aufzusteigen, sind die Zebras nun lediglich Vierter geworden. Zudem forderten die Fans: "Pele, hol das Freibier raus." Bis tief in die Nacht wurde gefeiert, ehe es am Sonntag ab 13 Uhr mit der offiziellen Aufstiegsfeier vor der Stadthalle weitergeht.
