What changed on Steam versus August 9

Compared with the August 9, 2026 Steam daily post, CS2 and Dota still lock ranks 1 and 2 while PUBG, Palworld, and Bongo Cat reshape the top five.

  • Big movers: EA SPORTS FC™ 26 (#12 to #23); Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced (#25 to #18); Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege (#17 to #24); Marvel Rivals (#6 to #11); Wallpaper Engine (#13 to #8); Stardew Valley (#19 to #14); Project Zomboid (#11 to #16); PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS (#4 to #3); Palworld (#3 to #4); Bongo Cat (#8 to #5)
  • New entrants: Grand Theft Auto V Legacy (#22); War Thunder (#25)
  • Drop-offs from August 9 board: Baldur's Gate 3 (was #22); Dead by Daylight (was #24)
  • Stability: Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 still hold #1 and #2; TBH: Task Bar Hero holds #7

The head of the board remains a residual concurrent fixture chart with one clear top-five shuffle. Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 have not moved since August 9, while PUBG climbs back to rank 3 and Palworld cools to rank 4 under post-July 10 Palworld 1.0 demand. Bongo Cat's three-rank jump to rank 5 is the sharpest idle-desktop story, pushing past Apex Legends and TBH without a dated patch note.

Mid-board churn defines the rest of the day. Marvel Rivals drops five ranks to rank 11 as Season 9.5's August 7 Hood launch ages into day four. EA SPORTS FC 26's 11-rank slide from rank 12 to rank 23 reverses yesterday's top-15 entry. Wallpaper Engine and Stardew Valley each climb five ranks, Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced rebounds seven ranks from the bottom, and War Thunder replaces Dead by Daylight at rank 25. The fixture story at the top still belongs to CS2; the August 10 signal is PUBG reclaiming #3 and Bongo Cat cracking the top five.
