Indie Hide-and-Seek Hit Meccha Chameleon Reaches 20M in Two Months

Meccha Chameleon, the indie hide-and-seek game, has sold over 20 million copies on Steam in two months, after 15 million in the first month and 5 million more in the second. The game continues to draw about 22,000 concurrent players daily across Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, aided by ongoing updates, despite a malware incident in user-made maps and a Discord server hack.

Meccha Chameleon maps infected with malware as Discord server suffers a hack

User-made Steam Workshop maps for the indie hit Meccha Chameleon were found to contain malware (notably in Laser Tag Neon, with a follow-up map Chroma Grid Arena), prompting removal. The developer stressed the game itself is safe and attributed the Discord server breach to a compromised admin account after 2FA was bypassed. A patch (v3.1.0) was released to fix the vulnerability and remove malicious maps, and the Discord server has been restored. Players who downloaded affected maps are advised to run malware scans. Meccha Chameleon has sold around 15 million copies in a month.

Indie hit Meccha Chameleon sparks malware scare via Steam Workshop

A security researcher found that some Meccha Chameleon Steam Workshop maps secretly execute malware by auto-running a hidden batch file that launches a PowerShell script and attempts to fetch a second script from an external server. Valve has been alerted, and infected maps may be removed. To protect yourself, avoid downloading Meccha Chameleon maps from unknown Workshop pages, run antivirus scans, and check your Documents folder for suspicious .bat files.
