Compare up to eight games. Rankings use recorded player counts. Short polling delays are connected using each game's observed sampling schedule; longer periods without observations are marked as unavailable. Click a game above to remove it.

Icons follow the lines as the timeline advances. Movement between observations is an animated transition; short polling delays stay connected, while shaded breaks mark missing history. No player counts are invented for those breaks. Dates and times are UTC.

How to use this evidence

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.

Share links freeze the cutoff at 2026-11-06T03:22:57.922Z. Newly collected observations after that time are excluded. This comparison supports a debate about connected Steam concurrency at these times, rather than which game sold more or is better. NGR does not store individual player identities.
