Counter-Strike 2 leads the first GamesChart top 10 by a wide margin: its highest point in the last 30 days was 1,450,705 players online at once on Steam, almost twice PUBG: Battlegrounds in second place (788,224). Apex Legends is third with 271,313. Below that the field is close, with Rust and Path of Exile 2 about 650 players apart, and Rainbow Six Siege X and The Witcher 3 within about 400.

This is the first week, so every entry shows as new. From next week the chart shows how each game moved.

The chart counts only games rated for adults (PEGI 16 or 18, ESRB Mature, or an equivalent 16+ rating), or with evidence that most players are adults. That leaves out several games with higher peaks this month. Dota 2, Valheim, Delta Force and the early-access shooter WARDOGS are among them, because we could not find an adult rating or adult audience data for any of them. Each figure is the 30-day peak on that game's Steam Charts page, read on 29 September 2026. Steam figures don't include players on consoles or other PC launchers.

How the chart works

Positions are ranked by the metric above, read from public sources and dated each week. Movement and weeks on chart are worked out from the previous published week, so nothing in those columns is typed by hand. Methodology
