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

Player curves are product history written in telemetry: launches spike, big updates and sales resurrect, and the decay rate between events measures how sticky the game actually is. The distance between Wallpaper Engine's best month of 87,976 and its current 79,792 is the retention story in two numbers.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the number of people who own the game?
No, far from it. It is the monthly average of how many people were in the game at once. Ownership and monthly active players are much larger and mostly unpublished; concurrency is the public, comparable slice.
Why is this lower than the game's record player count?
Each point is a monthly average, not a peak. Launch and event records are single-hour highs; the average includes overnight hours and quiet weekdays, so it always sits below the headline peaks.
