Where the data comes from
The live count is fetched from Steam's official services (ISteamChartsService and GetNumberOfCurrentPlayers) when the page loads. The chart plots only our own 10 minute recordings, running since Jul 2, 2026. We never display third-party history or invent samples we did not record: the exact data window is stated under the chart.
