Typical gap between builds
Not enough builds yet| Build | Went live | Patch notes |
|---|---|---|
| 25687729 | None posted |
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 |
|---|---|
| 22 Aug 2025 | Version 1.0.1 bugs fix & optimization update Update |
| 15 Jul 2025 | Hot fix 1.0 Patch notes |
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
| App | Players now | Latest build |
|---|---|---|
| Nightmare Shift Playtest · App 3232110 | No count | 17736388 · |
Separate Steam apps for test, staging and playtest versions of Nightmare Shift. 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
Take on night shifts at a remote motel, handle unsettling guests, and navigate eerie events. Experience Emma’s unnerving apartment life, feel the unease of being watched, and question what’s real as the line between reality and nightmare blurs.
