About Steam Games on VoteRank
Live concurrents on this list come straight from Steam, so the number beside a game is its real global player count at this moment. Treat it as context rather than as the ranking: it is a measure of scale, and a game with two thousand devoted players can rank above one with two hundred thousand if the votes go that way. Ranking is on votes cast this month, which makes this list useful for the thing Steam's own charts are worst at — surfacing a game that is good right now rather than one that has been selling well for six years.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the player counts come from?
From Steam's own concurrent-player data, refreshed every few minutes. It is the number of people in the game across all servers at that moment.
Why is a game with fewer players ranked higher?
The ranking is by votes cast this month. Player count only separates games with identical vote totals, so a game with a dedicated community can sit above a much bigger one.
