OUR RESEARCH

Steam Data Studies

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.

Methodology

How We Collect This Data

Source

Every number comes from Steam’s official public data. Our collector asks the Steam Web API how many people are playing each game right now (concurrent players). We do not estimate or adjust the figures.

How often games are checked

Busier games are checked more often:

Players at the last checkChecked
1,000 or more playersevery 10 minutes
100 or moreevery 30 minutes
10 or moreevery 3 hours
1 to 9once a day
No playersonce a week, and within the hour when the game changes on Steam

The number on a game page refreshes in your browser while the page is open, and each game page shows when its number was last updated.

History

We keep every reading, so charts run from the last 24 hours to all time, with history back to the game’s early years on Steam. Older years have one reading per month, so long-range charts are less detailed, and a few months have no data. Peaks and monthly averages are calculated from these readings. Times are in UTC.

Limits of the data

  • Steam only: players on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, the Epic Games Store or Game Pass for PC are not counted.
  • These are players online at the same moment, not owners, sales or monthly players.
  • Smaller games are checked less often, so a short spike between two checks can be missed.
  • Steam occasionally reports a false zero for a busy game. A drop to zero is only recorded once it has lasted 45 minutes.
FAQ

Steam Player Count Explained

We track every game on Steam around the clock and publish detailed pages for more than 26,000 of them. Each game page shows how many people are playing right now, its 24-hour and all-time peaks, a live chart, monthly history, the 30-day trend and the best time to play.

What is the most played game on Steam?

Counter-Strike 2 has been the most played game on Steam for years, usually followed by Dota 2. Both regularly pass one million and close to a million concurrent players. See the live ranking in our Most Played on Steam table.

Games with 1,000 or more players are checked every 10 minutes. Smaller games are checked every 30 minutes to once a day, depending on their size. Each game page shows exactly when its number was last updated.

Current player counts come directly from the official Steam Web API, and every reading is kept for the charts and history. See how we collect this data.

It is the number of people playing a game on Steam at the same moment. It does not include players on other platforms such as PlayStation, Xbox or the Epic Games Store.

Most games follow a daily rhythm: they peak in the afternoon and evening in their biggest regions and drop overnight. Every game page shows the busiest and quietest hours for that game, so you know the best time to play.

A game is trending when it has far more players than its own 7-day average right now, usually because of a launch, a big update, a sale or a free weekend. See what is trending on Steam right now.
