Even though i knew this was a planned feature, it's great to see it out in the wild. Hopefully they will soon expand it.

Hot take: I'd rather play a game with PS3-era graphics and incredible gameplay than another $70 photorealistic open-world game filled with repetitive missions, pointless collectibles and a bloated map.

We've reached a point where developers advertise how many trees you can interact with instead of whether the actual game is fun.

Maybe the gaming industry needs to stop chasing realism and start chasing entertainment again.

I feel like with the games I play nowadays the data will not be useful.

They did (not) the math

I'm having issues unlocking achievements in ubisoft games. Even after completing the required objectives multiple times, the achievements don't unlock. I've also tried changing save files, but the issue persists. How can I resolve this issue?

No words for Steam 😭

also share your first game! mines Mafia II on disc back in 2010.

Could this possibly mean that we might be getting other ways to verify our age?

Hello!

I am currently trying to learn more about self-hosting and want to access my services from outside my network. Tailscale gets recommended a lot, and I would utilize it on my server and my phone to access my stuff. But I use my phone to buy stuff on Steam, log in, and for the authenticator... Will this get me in trouble with Steam? Tailscale is a VPN after all.

I apologize for asking such a newbie question.

I love the personal calendar. I know a lot of ppl hate it, I think it's great to keep track on new releases.

But it seems to be influenced way too much by the stuff you play rather than maybe overall popularity and what not

So is there a way to change it so it maybe shows more AAA title for example? Currently, when i'm not playing a game actively, I let idle games run on 2nd screen for fun. That impacted my personal calendar and now it seems to be showing 90% of indie / idle games in upcoming releases and ...that's kinda not what I want.

Since the ratio of what I play actively and what I let run on 2nd screen is like 1:9 I don't see how it would change other than stop playing stuff on 2nd screen and playing the usual stuff more often.

So can I somehow influence the calendar to show more stuff that I wanna see and not stuff I recently played?

Hope that kinda makes sense...after all english is not my first language and i'm struggling to make my point

I just went to order a Steam digital card from Game Stop online, and couldn't find anything (and I got one from their website just a few weeks ago). I checked WalMart, Amazon, Best Buy, and none of those websites have digital Steam cards either.

What's going on? I know that Steam announced they were discontinuing physical gift cards, but I thought digital cards were still going to be available?

What the title says.

Who is that mega-brain Dev that did that change ?! I don't want to see my most recent achievement in a game; I want to see the progression from common to rare.

I recently started playing Cyberpunk 2077, however I'm having trouble getting my achievements to register. They pop up on screen when I meet the requirements, but when I restart Steam, they disappear from my profile and only show up in the activity feed. This means I won't be able to platinum the game because of this bug.

Details that might be relevant:

• I use CachyOS Linux

• Cyberpunk is shared via Steam Family

• I cleared a previous achievement using the Steam console to start fresh before this bug happened

I spent a Sunday morning going down SteamDB's peak list and counting. Fourteen games have ever had 800,000 people inside them at the same moment. The newest one joined two weeks ago.

| # | Game | All-time peak | Peak in the last 24h | 24h vs record |

|---:|---|---:|---:|---:|

| 1 | PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS | 3,257,248 | 726,760 | 22.3% |

| 2 | Black Myth: Wukong | 2,415,714 | 19,797 | 0.8% |

| 3 | Palworld | 2,101,867 | 41,288 | 2.0% |

| 4 | Counter-Strike 2 | 1,862,531 | 1,297,787 | 69.7% |

| 5 | Monster Hunter Wilds | 1,384,608 | 23,672 | 1.7% |

| 6 | Lost Ark | 1,325,305 | 6,493 | 0.5% |

| 7 | Dota 2 | 1,295,114 | 870,366 | 67.2% |

| 8 | Cyberpunk 2077 | 1,054,388 | 109,484 | 10.4% |

| 9 | ELDEN RING | 953,426 | 31,948 | 3.4% |

| 10 | Banana | 917,272 | 6,555 | 0.7% |

| 11 | New World: Aeternum | 913,634 | 418 | 0.0% |

| 12 | Hogwarts Legacy | 879,308 | 12,350 | 1.4% |

| 13 | Baldur's Gate 3 | 875,343 | 48,674 | 5.6% |

| 14 | Phantom Blade Zero | 833,921 | 302,369 | 36.3% |

| 15 | Battlefield 6 (closest below the line) | 747,440 | 42,847 | 5.7% |

That last column is the one I care about. It compares each record with the game's best hour of the last day, not with how many people are playing right now, because the number right now depends on when you look. Check at four in the morning and even CS2 looks like it is dying.

PUBG owns this chart and it is not close. Its record sits 841,534 above second place, and its best hour yesterday was within 21,000 of Battlefield 6's all-time record. Battlefield 6 is the best any game has managed without reaching 800,000.

For most of these, the record was launch week and it never came back. Nine of the 14 are below a tenth of it right now. New World's best hour yesterday was 418 people. Phantom Blade Zero is doing the whole arc in real time: two weeks after launch it is already down to 36%.

Two games are still above half their own record and you already guessed both. Nothing else on the list gets past 40%.

Cyberpunk 2077 breaks the pattern the other way, which is why it gets its own paragraph. It is not a live service, it is a six year old single player story, and it still kept a tenth of its record yesterday, four years after the peak it set in September 2022. The other story games that have been around a while are below 6%.

And then there is Banana. A clicker about clicking a banana peaked higher than Hogwarts Legacy and Baldur's Gate 3. I have no explanation for that one.

Method: all-time peaks come from SteamDB's chart sorted by peak, captured on 26 October 2026, plus the record Phantom Blade Zero set on 1 November 2026 from the same site. The 24-hour peaks come from SteamCharts, read on 15 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. Concurrent players means people in the game at the same moment, not copies sold. Valve only publishes the current count, so peaks like these come from trackers, and two trackers can disagree by tens of thousands of players depending on how often they sample.

If a game above 800,000 is missing from the table, tell me and I will check it.

Which of these records falls first?

Documentation online seems to be all over the place. Do i just move the steam apps folder AFTER i download steam? How will the new hard drive tell steam that i own a game after i move it, do the saves transfer, etc.
