On any given day, Steam sees a flood of new game releases, making it nearly impossible to keep up. While that's a sign of a thriving gaming ecosystem, it also means that some hidden gems may slip through the cracks. We've done the legwork for you, sifting through the latest releases to bring you five intriguing new games you may have missed this week. And if nothing here grabs your attention, check out our list of the best PC games or upcoming 2025 releases.
Cabernet
Release: February 21
Developer: Party for Introverts
Cabernet casts you as Liza, a vampire struggling with her morality in a 19th-century Eastern European town. Unlike most vampires, she doesn’t simply feed on any available prey—she carefully selects her victims based on their knowledge and skills, which in turn shape her own abilities. Whether she chooses to siphon blood from musicians, writers, or scientists, her feeding choices will influence her stats and story progression. If you're a fan of narrative-driven RPGs and rare, immersive vampire experiences, this one is worth sinking your teeth into.
Blood Typers
Release: February 21
Developer: Outer Brain Studios
For those who remember Typing of the Dead, Blood Typers offers a bloodier and more intense take on the concept. Set in grotesquely detailed procedurally generated levels, players must fend off hordes of zombies by quickly typing the words floating above them. But it's not just about combat—everything from movement to inventory management requires keyboard input. Plus, it supports cooperative play for up to four players, making it an ideal choice for both horror fans and those looking to sharpen their typing skills in the goriest way possible.
SNØ: Ultimate Freeriding
Release: February 18
Developer: Studio Gauntlet
If high-speed downhill skiing sounds like your kind of thrill, SNØ: Ultimate Freeriding might be your next addiction. Unlike traditional winter sports games, SNØ features procedurally generated mountains, meaning every run is unique. The game allows for both chill solo runs and competitive score-chasing with Steam leaderboards. Plus, it introduces an exciting twist: you’re equipped with a parachute, letting you perform high-altitude tricks with a safety net. It’s verified for Steam Deck too, making it a perfect pick for gaming on the go.
Never Second in Rome
Release: February 19
Developer: Alessandro Roberti
While details on this game remain scarce, Never Second in Rome appears to be an indie strategy game with a historical twist. Set in ancient Rome, the game focuses on the power struggles and political maneuvering of the time. Whether you're managing a legion, navigating Senate intrigue, or dealing with rival factions, it promises a unique take on Roman history with strategic gameplay. If you're a fan of historical strategy games, this might be one to watch.
Steam’s ever-growing library makes it easy to miss hidden gems, but these new releases offer something for everyone—from narrative-driven RPGs to high-intensity horror, winter sports, and strategy. Will any of these make it onto your wishlist? Let us know in the comments!
