| 20885391 | Update Notes for Dec 1 2025 |
From Steam’s client network, last checked . Builds before 21 Oct 2026, when we started watching, aren't listed. Patch notes are the developer’s update post from an hour before to a day after the build. Not every build gets one. How we count
| Posted | Update |
|---|---|
| 2 Dec 2025 | Update Notes for Dec 1 2025 Patch notes |
| 15 Sept 2022 | Patch 1.010 Update |
Steam keeps no record of past build numbers, so before 21 Oct 2026 a game’s update history comes from its own Steam news: posts tagged as patch notes, and untagged posts that plainly announce a patch or a released update. Older posts are still being read in, most played games first. How we count

| Illuminaria Playtest · App 1805020 | Not yet | 12513894 · |
Separate Steam apps for test, staging and playtest versions of Illuminaria. They have no store page, so they aren’t counted as games or releases. Builds come from Steam’s client network, players from the Steam Web API every few hours. Steam gives no count for an app nobody can launch. How we count
