Counter-Strike 2 stays top on 1,450,705, unchanged since the last chart in week 41. Dota 2's 30-day peak rose from 897,660 to 1,034,251, its first time above a million on this chart, and PUBG: Battlegrounds edged up to 803,207 in third. Valheim (fourth) fell from 307,757 to 286,459, while Apex Legends holds fifth on the same figure.

ARC Raiders is the one new entry, in sixth on 185,443; its average player count more than doubled over the month. That pushes Rust and Limbus Company down a place each, both on unchanged peaks. Warframe returns in tenth on 108,789, just 509 ahead of Marvel Rivals, which drops out. The Outlast Trials also leaves the chart: it is no longer among Steam Charts' 100 most-played games, which is where we look for candidates.

WARDOGS, FiveM, Bongo Cat and Aniimo had higher peaks but are left out. We found no 12+ rating for the first three, and Aniimo is rated PEGI 7. Each figure is the 30-day peak on that game's Steam Charts page, read on 19 October 2026. Steam figures don't include console players or other PC launchers.

How the chart works
