Steam data

Explore the Steam charts

Every game on Steam carries store tags, and we chart all of them. The genre charts show which kinds of games hold the most players right now: free to play shooters lead almost every hour of the day, while smaller genres like souls-likes, farming sims and roguelikes show which single player hits people keep coming back to.

Want a straight answer to “is this game dead?” Put it next to its rivals in compare, check the games losing players this month, or the older games gaining players again.

Sales, deals and releases

When is the next Steam sale?

Steam runs four big seasonal sales every year, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, plus themed fests and publisher sales almost every week. Our next Steam sale page has the dates as soon as Valve confirms them, and the sale events list shows what is running today.

Every game page also keeps its price history, so you can see the lowest price a game has ever had before you buy. On a budget? Start with the best games under $5, under $10 and under $20, or grab something from the free games list.

Our research

Steam data studies

Every two weeks we publish a study built only on Steam’s own data: player counts, achievements and store pages. The first one looked at 100 story games and found that the median game is finished by about 1 in 3 players, while 1 in 5 players never unlock a single achievement.

Our Steam data studies

We publish studies built on the same Steam data as these charts. You are free to quote and chart the numbers with a credit and a link.

Game guides

Guides for the Steam games we play

We write guides for the Steam games we sink the most hours into: builds and skill books for Skyrim, a full year of farming plans for Stardew Valley, and every quest and Field Guide page in Hogwarts Legacy. Each guide is written by someone who played that part of the game and is checked before it goes live.

How we write guides

Written by players, checked before it goes live

01

We play it first

Each guide is written by someone who has reached that part of the game, so the steps match what you see on screen.

02

We check the facts

Names, numbers, rewards and locations are checked against the game and official patch notes before a guide is published.

03

We keep it current

When a patch changes a boss, an item or a build, the guide is updated and the date at the top changes with it.
