Throwback Thursday! Looking back at WN Conference Cyprus 2026 in Limassol, what a great event it was!

As always, we were proud to support the Developer Showcase. Backing emerging teams is one of GEM Capital’s key missions.

It was great to see so many of our industry friends!

Huge thanks to Pavel Ryaykkonen, Julia Lebedeva, Oleg Nesterenko, Anna Pavinich and the whole WN Events team for an amazing event! 👏

We teamed up with 80 Level to analyze Steam’s Top 100 most-wishlisted games (based on our June 2026 snapshot) to unpack what actually drives pre-launch traction.

Here’s what the data showed:

𝟭) 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗔𝗔: The Top 100 is split 50/50 between indie and AAA, pulling nearly identical wishlist averages.

𝟮) 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻: Over 60% of top indie titles were revealed before 2025, driving ~70% of their total wishlists.

𝟯) 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿: A strong reveal averages ~322K wishlists in its first 30 days.

𝟰) 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀: The Game Awards yields the biggest single wishlist spikes, while Steam Next Fest offers the highest ROI and accessibility.

𝟱) 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘀 & 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲𝘀: Dark, dystopian settings dominate the charts.

Headline numbers don't tell the whole story - understanding timing, platforms, and genre context is where the real signal lies.
