What today's Steam games reveal
The concurrent board is still a Valve-plus-PUBG core. CS2 at 1, Dota 2 at 2, and PUBG at 3 did not move. The 30-day steam windows through August 1 still show Dota 2 as the only top-3 gainer at up 14.5%.
Limbus Company at 6 is the one name change. Apex sliding 6 to 10 and FiveM climbing 10 to 8 swap the bottom of the same 10-name pool from September 23, minus TBH. The Steam Most Played API is the matching data-source page.
CS2 volume 1,331,274, Dota 2 volume 981,123, and PUBG volume 771,621 remain the August 1 steam windows.
