It's a video converted into a gif uploaded to the artwork section of a game...

Average FPS data of similar spec configurations.

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.

They've left the base game and pass prices with the package

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

Hey guys, wanted to ask for help in here. Maybe someone has been through this. Steam is thinking I am scamming other people, but i've never done that. I have tried many ways to prove ownership of my own account but they do not accept bank information, other used gmails, cd keys basically nothing except email that was used to create my account. Sadly it was 6 years ago and I don't even remember it, I don't have any information of it. Applied for tickets like 10 times and they all been denied because I don't remember the gmail that was used to create this account. Is there a chance for me to get back my account? I have access to it, I have used credit card, card holder name surname, cd keys that were used to add games, billing adress, and two gmails that were used, but sadly it has a red account alert.

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?

Why is there 115 tools there? There are mostly game names I havent even heard about. Is there any way to purge that list?

Guys, what happened to Pestilent Hunters?

I remembed this game when I saw my Profile Picture on Steam and I got a bit curious about his origins.

Also I found the game page on Steam, but he never released.

I use this picture about 4 years

hi, me and my brother have just joined a steam family. there doesnt appear to have any way to flag a game to say free to play as im not playing it.

How do others manage to play it?

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

does anyone know how possible it is to downgrade batman arkham city game of year, into a older version so. i can connect my microsoft account and unlock GFWL achievements on my xbox account

i don’t know know if this is even possible but i really need help but thing thing is i’m on Macbook so like yeah

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 cant play Saints Row 4 because anytime i try this stupid Epic games pop up for account bullshit pops up, and tben suddenly my entire pc is fucked. I cant even press the windows button or open the task manager, neither the confirm nor quit button work, im just stuck

Im so incredibly pissed, i wanna play the game, how do i stop epic games from ruining it all for me?

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.

So I wrote an application that shows all audio sessions that exist, and I noticed that when I opened steam (it had just updated), it registered an audio session on every single active audio device that I have on my system. I find this quite interesting as I don't think that there is any reason for it.

After about a minute or two Steam does actually leave just the audio session that it should be playing to.

Just FYI I am not trying to slander the Steam app or anything (I love Steam and everything they do :) ), I just found this interesting and would like to know more about it.

Steam is getting flooded with AI games and I don't know how to filter it out.
Some disclose that they used AI, others don't. Some have the "AI" tag on it, others don't.

Now, I am not as Anti-AI as other people. I don't really care if AI was used as long as I don't see that it is AI. If it's something in the background or some code, I probably don't care.

But all of these games are very obviously AI, AI-generated pictures and AI-generated User Interfaces (I always recognize these instantly).
And I don't like that at all.

3 of the 4 games that will be released tomorrow will have AI in it. Is there a way to filter it out?

Hey there! Wanted to do some light Monster Hunter World modding, installed MO2 for it, got a warning for it being in the Program Files. Been poking around a lot, and most options seem either complicated or run the risk of exceeding available data if I don’t allocate properly (Ex: Partitioning off a second drive by condensing and splitting from the C Drive).

The simplest option seems to be fully/semi-uninstalling Steam and simply choosing a new folder of my own creation, but the process of doing so has me nervous.

The first option outlined in this guide says to uninstall all but three files in the Steam file held in my Program Files folder, then cutting and pasting the remaining files into the new place, then just running as usual.

Central question: Is this the simplest option, and do I truly have nothing (besides potential game-reinstall time) to worry about risking with this strategy? It really does look like the most attractive option to my untrained, not-tech-savvy-eye!

I won’t be able to give whatever recommendations you send me a try until tomorrow evening, so any reassurances you give will go a long way towards smoothing out my game plan when I get home from work! Anything would be appreciated!

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?

(Apologies for the barrage of questions)

But it has been “jailbroken”
- Would i be able to get it factory reset so that i can connect my account to it? Is that possible?
- Would it be a bad idea to reverse the jailbreak?
- Would reversing the jailbreak get the previous owner/seller’s account in trouble?

I use my pc at my tv via a controller and the controller companion app to bind kb&m controls to it for couch navigation of desktop via controller. Sometimes when I wake the pc from sleep and sign in with my controller, big picture mode is enabled and for some god knows why reason, steam decided that “sometimes” pressing the power option in big picture mode brings up a sub menu to close big picture mode/some other settings, and other times clicking it just fully powers down the pc, which means I have to walk to my pc room to then go hit the power button to turn the pc back on (even tho it seems to go to a sleep state instead, because it instantly powers to the sign in page like normal sleep mode does, but it also fully disables any wake from sleep devices like a keyboard.) Requiring the power button on the pc itself to be used.

Obviously this is not ideal when the pc isn’t even in the same room as the tv, and my keyboard I use for typing no longer wakes the pc anymore. Thus I would like to completely and fully disable big picture mode entirely.

I’ve already tried all methods I’ve read about and steam big picture will STILL randomly open when I sign in sometimes, thus starting the whole rigmarole again.

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?

Steam needs competition, and Epic Games isn't doing nearly enough.

Steam has become so dominant that we almost treat its shortcomings as acceptable.

The discovery algorithm could be better. The interface still has unnecessary clutter. Customer support can be frustrating, and some basic features feel overdue for improvements.

Yet most PC gamers wouldn't seriously consider switching platforms.

I genuinely think Steam is the best PC gaming storefront, but being the best shouldn't mean being immune to criticism.

What's one thing Steam desperately needs to improve, but Valve seems completely uninterested in fixing?
