Valve just released their list of the biggest Steam releases for March 2020. Included in the list of games included are games like Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Half-Life: Alyx, DOOM Eternal, and Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord amongst others.
Valve also notes that a fair number of March's new releases also made use of the new standalone soundtrack feature that Valve rolled out recently. Some of those games that make use of the new soundtrack system include Yes, Your Grace, State of Decay 2, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
Valve also noted that a lot of March's biggest releases are follow-ups to some really popular franchises. Hell, DOOM Eternal alone is part of a franchise that extends all the way back to 1993. Half-Life began back in 1998. To think that we got new entries in both of these franchises in the same month in 2020 is just incredible stuff.

Since free to play products don’t always generate revenue, we also list the top 5 free to play games, based on total unique players accumulated during their two week launch windows.
March continued to demonstrate some of the themes that we’re always excited to see. They are worth summarizing this month as well:
