Five dollars and change. That’s what it takes to crack Steam’s Top 5 right now.

Super Battle Golf, a chaotic 1-8 player party game from developer Brimstone and publisher Oro Interactive, sits at #5 on Steam’s Top Sellers chart, outsold only by a handful of titles. At $5.59 during a 30% off sale, it’s the right game at the right price at the right time.

Released February 19, the game does exactly what it promises: everyone golfs simultaneously, sabotaging their way to the hole. Orbital lasers. Golf cart ramming. Mines. Item pick-ups designed purely to ruin your friend’s round. Less PGA Tour, more Mario Kart with putting.

Over 5,500 reviews sit at 94% positive. Concurrent players hit 13,421 as of April 12. According to TheGamer, the developer claims the game surpassed 100,000 copies sold within days of launch — built in four and a half months from what the studio calls “a silly little pitch from our VFX artist.”

The player reviews handle most of the marketing. “I can’t return the game now. I’ve played more than 2 hours. and I lost all my friends… 10/10 must buy!” reads one top-rated review with 6.2 hours played. Another simply says “funny game hehe” at 32 hours. Peak word-of-mouth.

It’s part of a broader wave Steam players have dubbed “friendslop” — cheap, chaotic co-op games designed to destroy friendships and generate clip-worthy moments. REPO, Peak, and RV There Yet? all rode the same formula to breakout success over the past year. The recipe is consistent: low price, simple mechanics, maximum chaos.

Oro Interactive and Brimstone aren’t slowing down. A content update with a new biome and 9 holes is on the way, and console ports for PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 are slated for this summer, according to Gematsu.

Five bucks. Orbital lasers. Ruined friendships. Steam knows exactly what it wants.
