In another post shared on October 5, developer Vedinad revealed Megabonk nabbed a coveted spot on Steam’s most-played games list. The indie title is in good company; Megabonk sits alongside blockbusters like PUBG and Hollow Knight: Silksong, while also surpassing AAA releases like Borderlands 4.
Megabonk also hit a player peak over the weekend; on Sunday, the game welcomed more than 117,000 simultaneous skeletal skateboarders.

About Megabonk
Megabonk, an endearingly chaotic 3D survival game, pits players against relentless enemy hordes in randomly selected maps. Using one of many quirky characters available, gamers must collect loot, level up their arsenal, and endure the onslaught for as long as possible. The title will surely appeal to fans of 2022’s frantic indie roguelike, Vampire Survivors.
“Smash your way through endless waves of enemies and grow absurdly powerful,” Megabonk‘s Steam blurb reads. “Grab loot, level up, unlock characters and upgrade to create unique and crazy builds as you fend off hordes of creatures!” The game’s Steam listing also highlights 240 in-game quests, nearly two dozen offbeat characters, and dozens of items, each with unique capabilities.
Feeling froggy? Pick up Megabonk on Steam for $9.99. Clear your schedule, though. Trust me on this.
