Typical gap between builds
Not enough builds yetNo public build seen yet.
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
No update posts from before 21 Oct 2026 found yet.
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

| POUND SAND Playtest · App 4740120 | Not yet | 23471508 · |
Separate Steam apps for test, staging and playtest versions of POUND SAND. 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
Every pixel simulated, including the machines. Dig into alien planets, build a factory from real blocks, and carve it into any shape you want. Ore sinks and sand rises in the greatest competition in the galaxy. Move it, grind it, melt it, freeze it, sell it, and strip the planet to bedrock.
