Concurrent players, the daily peak and sales measure different things
Current players counts people playing on Steam at the recorded moment. Peak Today is the day’s highest concurrent count shown by that page, not an all-time record. The matching numbers mean that current players at capture also matched the page’s daily peak.
Concurrent players are not copies sold and do not include players on other platforms. For the sales ranking, see the launch-day Top Sellers report. For player reactions, read the first Steam review roundup.
