What today's Steam games reveal
The evergreen trio still prints the concurrent-user ceiling. CS2's August 1 volume of 1.33 million remains the board's scale, even with a 3.28 percent 30-day dip versus July 1.
Delta Force holding 7 after a Friday debut is the only recent-action tell. Path of Exile 2 slipping one slot is noise, not a patch note.
FiveM at 8 keeps a GTA V client on a Steam board that does not yet list Grand Theft Auto VI, which is a November 19 console date.
The JSON as_of_ts is 2026-09-06T08:01:34.264149+00:00. Rank 4 Apex Legends, rank 5 Bongo Cat, rank 6 Palworld, rank 7 Delta Force, and rank 8 FiveM did not move. Wallpaper Engine's only change is 10 to 9. Path of Exile 2's only change is 9 to 10. CS2 volume 1,331,274 versus 1,420,896 on the July 1 baseline is a 3.28 percent 30-day dip. Dota 2 volume 981,123 versus 860,019. PUBG volume 771,621 versus 792,142. The 7-day growth window returned collapsed_range, so those prints are omitted.
