Become Sperm Race Adventure Tops 145,000 Steam Wishlists
A short, single-premise indie built around one blunt biological joke keeps adding wishlists months after its February 14, 2026 announcement, and the TGS awards give it a credential beyond the premise.

The PC sperm race adventure Become has passed 145,000 Steam wishlists, developer Valentin Wirth reported. Players control a single sperm racing hundreds of millions of rivals toward the birth of life in a story-driven run of 2 to 3 hours. It adds appearance customization and cell upgrades earned by collecting sugar and protein. Immune cells, acid, and membranes block the way. At Tokyo Game Show 2026 it took a Gold Award in the SELECTED INDIE 80 Excellence Awards and the Pocky Award.
Become was announced on February 14, 2026, and about 10 days later it had passed 60,000 wishlists. The count has since more than doubled to 145,000. The developer's remark on the milestone was that many people agreed the game is far more interesting than a biology class spent dozing off.
At Tokyo Game Show 2026 the game won the Gold Award in the SELECTED INDIE 80 Excellence Awards and the Pocky Award from the official ambassador, and it was named a finalist for SENSE OF WONDER NIGHT 2026. The release is set for 2026 on Steam.
