On Steamcharts, Counterstrike has been the #1 game on Steam every single day I have EVER looked at this site, for at least 3 years now. This top 10 has basically been the same for years… I don’t get it. Do people just not play anything else?

Dota, Rust, PUBG, GTA V, Call of Duty, Apex… Admittedly, Satisfactory is new to the top 10. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege FINALLY fell out of the top 10, adn so did Destiny 2.

It just feels like it never changes, which is crazy… what happened?

      And pubg isn’t exactly the latest thing anymore either. It came out in 2017.

        Ugh that game died to me the day they added bots. I am so sad, it was one of my favorite games. My first 1v99 win got my heart rate up above 170.

      CS:GO is around the same age with much more players on average. GTA V’s player count tends to fluctuate based on what I’ve seen.

        GTA V is second only to Minecraft in copies sold across all of video games, and it still appears in the top 10 for copies sold on most months, 11 years after its initial release. It’s also available on other stores and consoles, so Steam is not a complete picture.

          It’s been years since I played or looked at anything CS related. I had no idea they shut down CS:GO.

            I new CS2 was a thing but I didn’t know they shut down CS:GO

            Edit: its technically still playable, you can apparently downgrade CS2 to play it, but idk if the servers are still up or anything.
