A change in concurrent players can reflect session timing, events, updates or other factors. These measurements do not establish a cause, a lifetime player record, profitability or the health of the wider game community.

Steam concurrent players: connected Steam users in the game at the observation time. This is not sales, revenue or total players. Missing observations are gaps, not zero. History starts when NGR first observes a game. Popular games are checked every 15 minutes; the rest of the catalogue is sampled on a rotating sweep. Playback transitions are visual animation, not additional measurements.
