How it is measured
The figures are monthly average concurrent players from SteamCharts: the mean of Steam's public concurrent-player readings across each month. Concurrency is the games industry's standard public audience measure precisely because it is directly observable; total ownership and monthly players are private. An average smooths launch spikes, quiet hours, and downtime into one figure per month, so single-day records sit above every point on this line, and it compares cleanly across games and across time.
What the curve shows
