Snapshot of user numbers of many Steam games based on Achievements.

This information is more precise than the previous projections from SteamSpy because the percentages of achievement are in Steam API are given in rates. Steam API is provided with 16 numbers behind that decimal mark. Further details about the method are available at and.

The games available on Steam do not have to be recorded; however, only games with Achievements are set by the developers. Around 13,000 of the 23,000 games can be recorded. Yet, Valve Software has already responded and can calculate player numbers on July 4, as the Achievement numbers in the Steam API have been made more round.

He was able to take a snapshot of the user number for Steam on July 1st of, 2018. Galyonkin gave this breakdown for the site, and they also checked some of the numbers to ensure accuracy. As per their report, the image is the “most current and accurate” estimation of player numbers on Steam, but they’re an estimate based on extrapolation.

The following is an account of all games that have over five million participants. Condition: Every player must have earned an achievement in their respective title.
