About Steam comebacks

What counts as a Steam comeback?

A game released at least 180 days ago whose average daily peak over the last 30 days is at least 20% higher than in the 30 days before, with at least 500 players at its daily peak, after it had fallen to under half of its all-time peak.

Why do old games gain players again?

The usual reasons are a big update or new season, a deep discount in a Steam sale, a free weekend, a sequel or show bringing attention back, or a popular streamer picking the game up.

How often is this list updated?

Every few hours, from player counts we collect through the official Steam Web API. Busy games are checked about every 10 minutes.
