Meccha Chameleon was the second highest-earning PC game in June, behind only Fortnite

Meccha Chameleon, the viral hide-and-seek multiplayer game from indie developers lemorion_1224 and Haganeiro, pulled in the second-highest PC revenue in June across the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy — beaten only by Fortnite. The figure comes from Newzoo data shared by GamesIndustry.biz.

Newzoo analyst Mert Şahin told GamesIndustry.biz the result "shows that lower-budget, socially driven multiplayer experiences can achieve significant commercial results." The full top 20 list puts Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, and League of Legends behind Meccha Chameleon in third, fourth, and fifth. Fortnite dominates both the PC and console charts, with Minecraft and Marvel Rivals appearing on both lists as well. The game's cheap price, low system requirements, and relentless social media presence on YouTube drove the surge.

The comparison to Among Us is hard to avoid — that game exploded in 2020, and six years later it still runs collabs and just landed a TV show. Meccha Chameleon is already teasing its first collaboration, suggesting the developers are thinking along similar lines. The game isn't without problems — cheating and AI-generated knockoffs have been ongoing headaches — but the core experience earned genuine praise from PC Gamer's Lincoln Carpenter, who called it "a delightfully elevated take on hide-and-seek" and said its "game of competitive camouflage is a multiplayer experience that exceeds its friendslop trappings."

For a low-budget indie title to sit alongside Fortnite, CS2, and Riot's entire stable in a revenue chart is a striking result, and it suggests Meccha Chameleon has the legs to stick around well beyond its initial viral moment.
