Benchmark Games

Figures across every listed Steam game with a tag: how many there are, how many came out this year, the people playing them now and the share of their Steam reviews that recommend them, with the tag's most played, newest, best reviewed and upcoming games.

• Players now adds up readings taken at different times: busy games every 15 minutes, quiet ones every few hours or less often.
• Steam's users choose a game's tags, and a game can carry up to 20, so a game counts under tags that describe only part of it.
• Delisted games, soundtracks, DLC and tools are left out.
• Counts people running the game through Steam only. Players on other stores, consoles or launchers are not included.
