We have included a new metric for all games – peak concurrent users. The data will be available on a daily basis from January 2014, both on the platform as well as through the Business API.
Here’s an example of Grand Theft Auto V’s daily peak CCU for the past 1 month (link):
We’ve tweaked the UI and added a new feature to the historical data section of Game Comparison and individual game pages.
We’ve added an “align to release” toggle to the charts on the Game Comparison and the individual game pages.
The new feature sets the starting point of the game’s data to its first release date on Steam whether it was a full release or early access.
Here’s an example of comparing two Steam games’ average CCU for the first three months since release (link).
Please note that for games released before 2014, the performance data does not start from day 1. Instead, it starts from the number of days between the game’s release and January 1, 2014. As for CCU and followers data, it starts from May 2021.
We’ve replaced the data filter buttons with a neater dropdown box to make it visually more appealing and easier to use.
Before and after:
Our Business API solution now has an endpoint for regions, which gives you the list of all the regions of a Steam game’s player base.
The list contains the percentage of players in each region, the region’s name and the rank of the region by the number of players.
This update also includes smaller improvements and updates not highlighted above.
Today we’ve released an interactive chart for comparing several Steam games in one place.
With this new feature, we are making it quick and straight-forward to compare Steam games to each other.
How did FIFA 23 do vs FIFA 22 or the latest CoD against other shooters?
Here’s an example of comparing the daily sales performance of three Steam games during the last months of 2022 (link).

The search bar now brings you to a new search page if you press enter when searching.

Our site (and Steam itself) changed the original early access (EA) game release date to a new, full access release date when a game exited early access.
This lead to some unintended consequences. For example if a game with a 2021 early access release date had a full release in 2023, then in the Steam Market Data the game would move in the annual graph from 2021 to 2023.
We are now displaying the early access exit date in game pages (where applicable) and call the original release date as “first released”. (Whether it is early access or full release.)
Previous “release date” filter is now called “first released date”. It allows you to filter by the earliest point the game became available on Steam (either as an EA or full release).
We added a new “early access exit date” filter, which allows to filter EA games based on when they went full release. For example, here are all the Steam games that launched as “early access” and came out with a full release this year. (Indie tier required to use date range filters.)
We have released two new charts for game historical data and followers range filter. See below for more details.
Individual game page now has two additional charts for registered users: Cumulative Est. Revenue, Daily Est. Revenue Increase. Here’s an example using Sapiens:
We have added followers range filter to the Games Database, Steam Analytics and Top Charts. You can filter games by setting minimum and maximum follower count.
We are now providing follower data for game performance endpoints in our Business API.
This update also includes smaller bug-fixes and updates not highlighted above.
