About SteamPlayerStats
Transparent stats for popular and trending Steam games.
How the data is gathered
We collect player numbers directly from the official Steam Web API and store them in our database. The backend schedules regular fetches so the site shows live player stats and recent trends for the games we track.
What the numbers mean
- Current Players: the most recent player count returned by Steam for a game.
- Daily Peak: the highest player count we observe for that game within the last 24 hours.
Which games are included
We focus on the most popular and trending Steam games. The catalog grows over time, but it is not a complete index of every Steam title.
Update cadence and data integrity
Player counts are refreshed on a regular schedule. Brief gaps can occur if the Steam API rate-limits or experiences downtime. When a value is missing, the site keeps the most recent valid reading.
