The table updates with every new record. The line in each row is the average of every 24 hours over the last week, so it shows whether a game gains or loses players rather than the hours of the day.
How the ranking is built
- Source
- the Steam chart of the 100 most played games
- Records
- every ten minutes since 2 July 2026
- Place
- players at the latest record
- Line of the week
- the average of every 24 hours
Steam publishes the chart itself: the rank, the players in a game and the peak of the day come from Valve, and we do not compute or correct them. What we add is the history. Every record is kept, so the page of each game shows how its players changed over a day, a week and the whole recording.
The leader over the last month
Counter-Strike 2 is the most played game of the chart at the time of writing. Over a day its count follows one wave: it climbs through the afternoon of Europe and Russia, peaks in their evening and is lowest in the early morning there.
How to check any game
- Open the page of the gameFrom the table above or from the search of the site.
- Choose a periodA day shows the hours, a week the days, a month and the whole recording the trend.

What the ranking can and cannot tell
Pros
- The source is the chart of Steam itself, the same numbers Steam shows.
- Every record is kept, so a trend can be checked over weeks and months.
Cons
- Only the top 100 is recorded: a game below it has no history here.
- Players in a game do not say how many people own it or how much they spend.
The ranking of every recorded game, with the games that gained players this week and the newcomers of the chart, is on the Games page.
