Notes

Methodology

This story is generated from Steam's public charts service. The latest frame uses current concurrent players; the weekly comparison frame uses Steam's latest most-played weekly peak values. Historical monthly frames come from SteamCharts average-player tables for the same app IDs, while scheduled StoryOps runs append current snapshots so recent history stays observed daily data.
