The fixture trio did not move. The only name change is PUBG in, Task Bar Hero out. Palworld is still sliding: 4 yesterday, 5 today, after SteamPulse daily peaks fell from 165,691 on August 26 to 126,509 on August 27.
How to Fish at 7 is a week-old viral co-op still above Marvel Rivals. Bongo Cat at 3 remains an overlay, not a match-based game, which is why it can sit between two Valve titles.
