Pattern notes from the Steam board
Evergreen competitive shooters sit above novelty idle games and a Palworld surge. The clearest dated driver on July 29 is Palworld's ongoing 1.0-era concurrent spike and idle novelty hits TBH: Task Bar Hero and Bongo Cat on the July 29, 2026 Steam board.
Across the published top 25 of 25 API rows, one-day spikes sit beside recurring fixtures. Treat mid-chart evergreen names as habitual demand unless a why line cites a fresh July 29 trigger.
