Week move is the most-played chart’s rank vs. Steam’s last-week ranking. As daily snapshots accumulate, the concurrent chart gains 24h day-over-day moves too (shown inline in the “24h” column above).
Steam's US top-sellers chart, revenue-ranked. 6 of the top 20 are free-to-play — the sales chart is dominated by games that cost nothing up front and monetise in-game.

Once a day we capture Steam’s three official store charts — live concurrent players, most played by 24h peak (both global) and the US top sellers — into a time-series dataset, one record per chart, country, day and rank. Because every day is stored, trends accumulate: you can watch a launch spike, a seasonal dip, or a free-weekend surge build over time rather than seeing only today.
The 24h move on the concurrent chart diffs the previous daily snapshot; the week moveon most-played uses Steam’s own last-week rank. Prices on the top-sellers chart are the current store price at capture — free-to-play titles show “Free”.
Honest limits. The concurrent total sums only the top 100 games, so it is a floor on Steam’s platform-wide concurrency, not the whole platform. Charts are captured once daily, so intraday peaks between snapshots are not seen. The underlying data is open under CC BY 4.0.

Crawlora (2026). Live Steam Charts, daily. #1 by concurrent players = Counter-Strike 2 (535K). September 9, 2026. https://crawlora.net/steam-charts.
Counter-Strike 2 is the most played game on Steam right now by live concurrent players (snapshot September 9, 2026) — 535K players in-game, with a 24h peak of 1.24M. The full top 100 is in the table above and updates daily.
Across the top 100 games in this snapshot, about 3.57M players are in-game (September 9, 2026). That is a floor, not a total — it counts only the top games' concurrent players, and Steam's platform-wide concurrent figure (all games plus users just browsing) is higher.
"Concurrent players" ranks games by how many people are in-game at the snapshot moment (global). "Most played" ranks by the 24h peak concurrent count (global) and carries Steam's week-over-week move. "Top sellers" is Steam's US revenue-ranked sales chart, with each game's current price (many top sellers are free-to-play and monetise in-game).
Daily — one snapshot per day is written to a time-series dataset, so trends accumulate over time (the 24h move on the concurrent chart diffs September 8, 2026). Every snapshot is queryable as JSON through Crawlora's Datasets API (pay-on-success); this page is open under CC BY 4.0.
The daily concurrent-player, most-played and top-seller charts — plus the full Steam games catalog with prices, community tags and review scores — are queryable as clean JSON through one REST API, billed on success.
